[disclaimer: I'm asking the same question in a different forum as well.] 
Just a fun question: why people especially BMW owners love black so much?
1. There are black colors (Jet Black, Black Sapphire, etc) including the various bluish tint blacks such as Carbon Black and it seems black colors are the most popular among BMW CPO cars I've found
2. Black interior (almost for every 20 black interior cars, I see 1 non-black interior)
3. Black headliner
4. Black shadowline trim
5. Black grille
6. Black rims
7. Dark tint (also black)
Did I miss anything?

1. Jet black here...guilty as charge but love the color after a good wax job
2. Not big fan of black interior...tan/biege
3. Sport package...comes along with the car
5. Guilty as charge but do switch back and forth whenever I feel like it
6. Not big fan of black rims...prefer some contrast
8. 25% tint all around...have to if I want to keep my interior cool in the hot heat plus tan interior does help lighten it up a bit
BTW, you missed the black out tail light

I'm the contrarian here. I came from Alpine White to Sapphire Black, and had the car not been perfect for me in just about every other respect, I would have passed on it. TO DAMM HARD TO KEEP CLEAN!! BTW, my interior is really a dark gray.
If I had my choice of colors, it would be something like candy apple red or coppertone bronze.

man I have OCD and my car is black. My friends joke around and say shit like "ALEX, LOOK, A SPOT!" Today, for example, I had new Conti tires installed on the fronts and the shop got the car all dusty and the rims all greasy. Well, it drove me nuts. I had to run to a hand car wash and have it babied up and shined.
I felt better after that.

I wish it was black like the others but I notice I'm not wiping the car down every time I walk up to it. I realized today (first time in there) that the parking lot to pick up my kid was a gravel lot! It did not even phase me with the silver car
