Jet Black on the roof and matte black on the diffuser
+2. If you're going that route, shine on the roof and a matte diffuser makes the most sense. GL!

Looking forward to seeing the pics of your ride!!
I recently stumbled across this E90 on E90POST, which has been painted Space Grey with a black roof (and bonnet). It might give you a feel for how the contrast on the roof will look like, however this particular E90 is heavily modded. Here's a pic of the roof on the E90...
