I just saw a parked carbon black m5. I was on foot and had a chance to study it for awhile.

I needed direct sunlight AND needed to be within 6 feet to see the blue paint in it. Under those conditions the blue was strikingly beautiful. I couldn't see the technoviolet tones marc b reported.

Without the direct sun AND from outside 6 feet or so, the car looked like a high gloss black.

The car had the two toned interior, black trim and gray leather. Very nice.

Watermarks were evident, probably from Friday night's rain here. I did not see scratches, but the car looked very new (other than what looked sadly like the result of sandpaper marks on the door, vandalism).

My opinion - still one of my top choices, but I want to take time to think about it.
