Not sure where the OP is based, but one important consideration in the US is that with the M Sport Package, only carbon black and jet black are available (not sapphire black).
- metallic black
- metallic dark dark blue, because...
... a friend of mine has Carbon Black and before I knew what the color was actually called I just thought it was some dark blue color to me because it NEVER looked black. So, if you're fine with having a very dark blue car then by all means get Carbon Black. But, if you want a car that's actually black-looking then Sapphire is the way to go. Good luck!

Carbon Black. It looks the best and the meanest. The other colors like Jet Black are for the lady boys of this forum. ![Big Grin](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/biggrin.gif)

Personally I would have Jet Black next time if I have another E60..........Carbon is nice, but not really Black and feel slightly cheated after thinking I bought a Black car (was raining when I bought it)
