Tom...when i ordered my car, i didnt hesitate to order jet black...but after reading some passionate posts on here about all the great colors offered for the M5, i was thinking i should have taken more time picking a color..until, this past weekend... i spent saturday and sunday washing, polishing and waxing my car...Tom, nothing looks like a Jet Black M5 with a perfect shine...it took my breath away when i was done...black is timeless in my opinion..i know there are alot of black 5 series out there..and some folks want their M5 to stand out from the bunch...but all we really have to do is hit the gas to do that...any choice you make will be the right one..all the best
