My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Was told at the dealer and read somewhere online that Carbon Black Metallic is only available on the 550i (Sport?). Does that also exclude the M5 from getting the color?

In the UK, Carbon Black is an option on any M-Sport car (from the 520d / 520d upwards). It is not available on non-sport models even the 550 - you get jet black or sapphire black.

In Canada, CB is available on the cars that can have the MSport package, so 550i gets it as all 550i in Canada are MSport. Also, CB is available on 535i and 535xi if they are ordered with the MSport option.
I just did some jiggling around and swapped my ordered 535xi for another one with the MSport package - but I stayed with the Alpine White color I originally picked. Coming off 2 black vehicles in a row, another one was just too much work for me to keep clean. Getting lazy, I guess.
