I got a ticket at like 5am a few months ago. The cop initially wrote "Black" on the ticket but after he shined his flashlight on the car (I'm assuming) he scratched it out and wrote "Blue."

I like it dont get me wrong, but at the back of my mind i wish i had got a jet black one! After all.. i was looking for an only black car and it turns out its not that black but kinda black depending on what time of day it is lol
Let's trade... I think Carbon Black is so beautiful because it does look black in some light and very dark navy in others. I would have died to have Carbon Black over my Jet Black 550i.

I'm one of those fools who ordered carbon black sight unseen. I was expecting more black and less blue, but I love the uniqueness of my car's paint.
