Hi all,
We're still not 100% sure on the colour we will be ordering on the 535d with Mkit.
Everyone says the Carbon Black looks more blue than black, but in every picture I see carbon black looks really black.
Does any one have a pic were you can actually see that there's some blue shine?
We currently have an E39 with Mkit in Cosmos Black, IMHO the M kit looks better on a lighter colour so the front bumper is better visible.
Feel free to comment/post suggestion,
Thx,
Phil

However even outside it looks very black and I hardly notice any blue shine? Is it bluer in real life?

Php,
If you park a Carbon black car next to a Jet or Sapphire black car the Carbon looks like Orient blue. BMW have really changed this colour a lot from the original Carbon black offered on the M cars.

I knew with a lot of sunlight that the car gets a deep blue shine, but not to this extent.
I see some light reflected on the car and I believe the picture is inside a hangar.
Is that pure white light?
Anyway, can't argue that this looks like deep dark oriental blue. That's what makes it a special color as well. I still think it is the best color for the sport package (for me at least).
