Thanks to everyone for their input.
Today I visited my dealer to see if they still had a Carbon Black X5 M on the lot. They did and it was parked next to a black sapphire 3 Series. IMO the CB gave the X5 more character and depth. However; even though it was raining and overcast you could tell it wasn’t pure black especially compared to the black window moldings. I’ve included a couple of pics that I took. Sorry that they're not better but the X5 was parked in a bad location surrounded by other vehicles. Plus I was driving away when I realized I had my camera so I snapped a few while seated in my car.
Even if I did decide to change my color choice to black sapphire, I may not have the option as my X3 is slated to start production next week.
