Opinion of Carbon Black

Have opportunity to purchase Carbon Black X6M and not sure about color?In some ways it looks plain and in other way it looks awesome? I just cant decide. Would it look good with black add ons(kidneys,rear spoiler etc) or would you put on Carbon Fiber? Any help or comments or pics would be appreciated.. I would prefer to have white,but need someadvice..

I have carbon black X6M50d with BMW Performance grilles, side skirts, rear lip spoiler and rear window slats. I have also fitted road legal (UK) flyeyeskit black tinted rear light film. With the winter wheels on (satin black) it looks truly evil....
A pic of the grilles (dark now and car filthy so this will have to do!).......

And with the LED Adaptive lights on :-)

I was considering CB but when I saw it in daylight on a m550d it felt boring and also looked flakey.

I went with sapphire black instead which I've had on my two previous cars which looks great even when dirty.

Getting the X6 m50d in may

I have the CBM and love it. Under direct lighting, you can see the blue undertones, and then shows more black with low lighting. Had sapphire black on 335 and liked it but really like the extra color you get out of the CBM. Personal preference

I really dig sapphire black and have been happy with it from day one to today.

Not sure how you can like SB but not CB. They're pretty identical looking nit the great thing about taste is that it's yours...
