Secondly: i don't have a picture of an E61 in carbon black, but i have a E60 in carbon black with the sports package. So if this would help you, here is are some pics of my car in sunlight:

So I went for Mystic Blue in my order instead. It has a nice way of appearing different shades in different light. Consider it? 
Whatever your choice I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.

I didn't realise how much blue was in my car until the sun came out properly yesterday, I had only ever noticed it before when filling up at night and the lights caught it on the curves, but yesterday when the sun was hitting it the blue was really obvious.
So for 99% of the time it is black, the other 1% it looks like a really, really deep blue.
See, definitly looks black! well, sometimes

The budget Canon 350D (rebelXT in some countries) with the standard kit lens. An absolute gem for the money.
