520d m sport - I know everyone here thinks the 520 is a poor choice but its the right one for me for a number of reasons. But what colour - top for me carbon black, but like silver and the graphite grey.....
I don't personally like carbon black, if I want a black car then I want it pure black. I don't want sunlight-driven hints of blue. If I want a blue then it has to be a strong blue (orient? midnight?). I think (and it's just my personal opinion) that carbon black isn't black enough as a black, and that hint of blue isn't blue enough to be a proper blue. Of course that's exactly why some people like it, the duality of it. Lucky we don't all like the same things

But it is VERY hard to keep clean. I wash it every weekend and by the end of the week it looks filthy.
If I had my choice again I would still go for carbon black - but as somone else said, it's actually a dark metallic blue.

I know I put this on a previous post but UK drivers, roughly how much are the av. service costs for the 5er? And new run flat tyre if required. Just trying to build up as big a picture as I can?

Le Mans blue is a current colour in the UK - not sure what market you're in?
