Space Gray all the way, hey that rhymes,... the Carbon Black should really be called Carbon Blue!

I'll drink to that!

As much as I love black, the space gray color is one color that I really like besides black. Besides, carbon black isn't fully black, and that's why I have jet black....... my next car will probably be space gray......... maybe.......

Just ordered a '08 550iM Sport in Carbon Black. My previous two 5's ('01 540iA, 04' 545i SMG Sport) have both been Titanium Silver.

I have only seen pictures of Carbon Black, and figured it was time for a change. However, I'm a little torn now that I see pictures of Space Grey.

How does Carbon Black look in person vs pics? Do the pics not do it justice? Since I've already had 2 silver 5's, will I probably not feel bad when I see one in Space Grey passing by? I'm so

!

Finally, I got black interior, anthracite headliner, and bamboo anthracite wood. I liked pictures I saw of the anthracite bamboo...anyone see in person and have comments? Should I switch? Again, very confused

I love the look of Carbon Black - I had it on my last car and that looked incredible when clean. Trouble is - it only stayed clean for about 5 minutes after it was washed. I gave up in the end and didn't bother washing the car for the last six months I had it. Current car is Silver Grey - it's a boring colour but it doesn't show the dirt so I'm happy!
