Unless I am way off base, you wont find the name of the color stamped anywhere on your car. Its a paint code that is built into the VIN. Call any dealer and they can tell you the name if you provide that VIN # I dont recall which specific set of those numbers are the paint code, but they can tell you

It's located under the hood on the passenger fender, at least on most newer E60's.

Yes, schwarz is the color black in the German language. Try out the translator at www.dictionary.com. Other colors: silber -> silver, rot -> red, blau -> blue, grau -> gray.
