My 530 is jet black but it seems to have shiny stuff in the paint that looks like glitter...i always thought jet black was all black and sapphire black had the glitter in it...

Here in Belgium it is not possible to get sapphire black on e60 with m pack. Jet black is possible.
So if you have the pack this may be a hint that it is jet black. But offcourse this can differ by country.
(I was really surprised that there are people here with m pack in sapphire black and titanium grey. Both not possible combinations here. Aftermarket?)

Huh? you said your E60 is jet black... or at least think it is... So if that was the case why do you have a Saphire Black M5 bumper? For you Jet Black 530? OR do you have another E60?

You're feeling the caked on road tar. Time to go buy a clay bar and spend some quality time claying every inch of the car.
