Traitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alpine White for sure.
ITs hard to say, black is really nice and looks amazingly shiny when cleaned and waxed. White is sooooo much easier to keep clean and you wont see the dreaded swirl marks all the time.

Another black and white issue. Can we all get just along? How about gray?

LOL.. that hella made me laugh.

Both are GREAT choices. I didnt have Carbon black per say, but when I did have the time and energy to detail the crap out of the Jet black it looked MIIIIGHTY sexy. With that said. My car is now painted to Star Fire Pearl. Last minute decision over Alpine White. Do I miss black? Yea, but Alpine White says ELEGANCE in a new way that black doesn't anymore... well not to me.

ALPINE WHITE FTW!

I'm on my second carbon black e60...so you guessed it....I say go with carbon black. It's a very unique color and it ranges from black to dark blue to purple depending on the light. I love it! AW looks awesome as well!

im changing my sapphire black(not a big fan of this color,most of the time it looks like a metallic gray) 08 525i for a 530i with m-kit and beige interior(exterior color carbon or white)
im uploading some pics ive found on the web that are making this a difficult choice and therefore are torturing me .
by the way, i think that the pic of the bmw site with the blue looking 530i looks sweet(theres something about the rear bumper that i love, and i know some of u will want to crucify me for this, but maybe,just maybe, ill swap my m-tech rear bumper to a stock one even though i dont know how the car is going to look with stock rear and m5 front, anyways, ive never seen carbon black in real life but ?do you think it will look like the color on this pic? thx guys i really appreciate your help
p.d:gray is not an option and im leaving the chrome trim instead of the brilliant black one that comes with the m-kit
