Only you can make that decision.

I would say that with both being very dark colours is to look after the paintwork, ie avoiding swirl marks.
Both of these colours look stunning when clean but will show swirlmarks if the paintwork is not cared for and lose that wow effect they have when clean and in the sun.

Good luck deciding as the colour is one of the more difficult decisions to make!

Can't go wrong with either but I would pick the carbon black. Both are beautiful cars.

Consider budgeting for a ceramic coating for those darker cars. Carbon Black is a stunning color that appears black or dark blue depending on the lighting and time of day.

I would invest in having something like Ceramic Pro applied - it can help protect from minor swirls and also maintain that new car look. It also allows for less cleaning maintenance on the car. After one year, my Ceramic Pro car looks the same as when I picked it up.

This is Carbon Black Metallic. Same car with different lighting. Love it.

I have imperial blue (went non M), but if I was to do an M, DEFINITELY carbon black, though that's just me

[SteveinArizona]

Very personal decision. If it were me...carbon black.

Same with me. My 2019 540xi is the second BMW I have had in Carbon Black--the 2010 535xi M Sport was the same; both have tan interiors. I really love the combo and love when people are (frequently) surprised to notice the car is very dark blue, not the more common black. But in the end it is your personal choice.--Bob

Thanks for feedback guys So the BS is approx 5000 more expensive but the dealer will supply a full AC-Schnitzer exhaust with mid pipes, AC-S lowering springs and a ceramic coating......

[Morteng70]

btw, do somebody know if its possible to dismantle the tow hitch..? I have difficulties finding a diffuser that will fit with tow hitch.....if that means taking it off the car I will do that, but I dont know if its possible.....

[secretanchitman]

Carbon Black!

[hlothery]

One vote here for the Black Sapphire.....mine is dazzling! Love it.

Yes,I agree with you....looks like I`m moving towards the BS, its more stealth, looks more angry

[Cortexiphan]

Carbon black. It’s stealth, but a very vibrant yet dark blue when light hits.

[wheresmy5]

+1 for carbon black. Have it and the color is stunning. But it's a very very dark blue, hardly ever looks black.

[nrh1703]

Another +1 for carbon black. picked mine up a few days ago and it looks great, will look even better when i have ceramic protection put on in a few days. even at night someone mistook it for dark blue,

Both are nice colors but Black Sapphire looks black in both daytime and nighttime. Carbon Black looks dark blue in the sunlight and black at night. It really depends if you like blue or not... I've had Black Sapphire on 2 different cars and have been happy with it. The only color I liked better was Mineral Gray Metallic on my 2015 535. Carbon Black is a truly unique color so I would suggest checking it out in different lighting conditions to determine if it's for you or not.

[CosmicCharlie]

Love carbon black. Agree with others that, regardless of which black, it's worthwhile to invest in paint protection film and/or ceramic coat (I did both on mine). Mine still looks better than new after 26k miles

[downsouth]

Biased to the Black Sapphire Metallic. Here are my pictures after ceramic coat! I think it looks amazing....either way you cannot go wrong

[paulbazo]

I have had 2 carbon blacks 550's and two black sapphires (640 and M550) , my next car will be black sapphire. Why you ask?
BS is black, you are never confused if its black or blue like CB. I like it a lot better than CB.

Carbon black, so when your speeding at dusk and someone calls the police they will say a blue car. Then later that night when you get pulled over you can say no this is a black car it wasn't me!
