I'm going for carbon black next time.

Silver's been done in the UK and although the titanium grey looks well when it's clean and shiny, it's not so good when it's covered in road grime.

Carbon black
But do you really think that a black color is a good option to disguise the dirtness when the car is covered in road grime?
Having just passed from a grey E39 to a black E61 I really think the black color is the worst to keep the car clean...

Five days after one washing, my car is already requesting for a new one...

No my Silver Grey metallic B10V8 was just as difficult to keep clean as the Sapphire Black metallic B5. Cars are cars and none shed dirt unless you believe the hype from some of the wax manufacturers!

Hi all I have a small problem !!! I need to choose new colour for my new E61 touring car in MS package

what do you think about carbonblack? i have seen it in the car salon but not in the sunny light
my question is if this colour is more similiar black or blu with natural light!

or in alternative i have though the silver titanium !

thank you
bye

Black is really good looking but then you have to realize
that the car has to washed atleast once a week.

Titanium Silver needs to be washed twice a year
