I recently took some pics of my car in the late afternoon & it looked completely black as you will see in the following link:

I wanted in these pics below to try and show the Blue side of Carbon Black which typically shows up in more direct harsh sunlight.

Your car looks superb in that colour. The blue tinge of the colour is wonderful.
I would love to have a carbon black e60 but from my previous experience of a black car (ford probe
) I know I don't have the time to keep it pristine. Silver Grey always looks clean even when its dirty. Its a nice compromise. Perhaps mystic blue has the ideal balance between the 2.
The grass is always greener. Every car I've ever had see another in the different colour and wish I had that one.

Wow, a bunch of people would have bet good money that's Orient Blue.? Great looking color! Well, both are (Carbon and Orient).

But after having two Orient Blue BMW's I can definitely say that Carbon Black is very different.
