Which black paint do I own?

I recently bought a black '07 X5 and can't seem to figure out the color. i've checked under my hood for a paint code but the label seems to be missing. For a while there I thought it was jet black but after a recent polishing session where I couldn't get out all the swirls (hard clear coat?) I'm beginning to think it is sapphire black. I attached some pictures. Hopefully it helps

Just open the hood, and to the right up top, it should have the color on a label. I looks like either Sapphire or Carbon Black however.

The color label is in German most likely, so it might be SCHWARZ or something. Pretty sure that's German for Black, so look for that word
