I think yes since I was told that for this 50 Jahre edition BMW had chosen 5 BMW iconic colours.

[oz555]

The most BMW colour ever.

[MaC-N54-E82]

Absolutely gorgeous spec!

[clegg]

very nice. These look the best in darker colors, but black is best.

Absolutely stunning build, it’s almost frustrating how good this looks. My G80 looks like crap compared to your build

[TractionControlDelete]

So the Anniversary badges are added after they’re at the dealership?

[Wanderer73]

Beauty! Carbon Black is one of my favorite colors and love it on my X7. Enjoy!

I hope you got a deal man.

Also ceramic coat the thing immediately, CB looks horrible when it's outside for more than 20 seconds.

Hey raptormachine

Not true. Here is my CB M850. Not Ceramic coated yet, about 150 miles into that day's journey, under, shall we say, less than ideal conditions. You tell me if it looks dirty


Spectacular build, mate. Enjoy.

[QUOTE=Kwills3;29789252]There happened to be a g80 in this color at my dealer. Stunning color in person. If they had a similar black with a red undertone, I’d have ordered it. Congrats!

Have you seen Ruby black?

[rivma13]

Wow beautiful spec! Congrats!

Now that I was able to see it I can only share that I am VERY pleased how it looks.

This build has interior full leather Merino black, carbon bucket seats, exterior carbon pack, track M race pack, 826m wheels in golden bronze Matte, lazer lights, carbon ceramic brakes, few more extras.

Wasn’t able to drive the car yet since before delivery it will be done a full ppf in matte + ceramic coating and install few M performance parts (see pics).

Car is still in transport mode (looks very high from the floor) and the dealer had already started the preparation for apply the ppf, so some of the emblems had already been removed.

Sorry for not so great photos but I will had more a soon as all the stuff is applied and the car is finally deliver to me (cannot wait).

Really excited to start driving it.

Would love your comments and does anyone have feedback on the Pirelli PZero Corsa (PZC4)?

EDIT: for those interested I’m from Portugal and the dealer that sold me the car and is installing the parts as well doing the PPF + ceramic coating is the BMW from Santarem (Aníbal Carvalho e Filhos). Having to deal with several dealers and brands over the years, there isn’t anyone else I could recommend. Their customer service and attention to details, really truly amazing.

Never realized how much blue there is Carbon Black. Beautiful car and color combo. Enjoy it in good health!

Not really when I could go there they had started the preparation to apply the PPF (in the photos is not installed yet).

Basically in those photos the car had been washed, decontaminated and paint corrected.

That's why some badges had been already removed to be installed after.

Soon I got more photos I will update this post.

I haven’t. I’ll see what I can find online

[Marcon71]

I didn't think the Jahre edition was worth the extra money, your build makes it special. Congratulations, can't wait to see it completed.

[Art__Vandelay]

Make sure to post photos when you receive delivery of the car. This beautiful spec deserves photos without shipping blocks, they do not do justice to the car.

That being said...the past examples I've seen of Carbon Black look darker than this one.

I wonder if it's changed?

It depends on the light. Mine can look black and then turn to navy blue.

I wish I could get those wheels on my Carbon Black X3.

[Namelss]

Beautiful combo, congrats and good luck! Classy and understated.

[DavidXJ]

Wow, loving the blue shimmer in those bonnet contours! Almost looks reminiscent of Tanz, but more brooding. Very menacing.

[418BUC]

Great spec. Everyone talks about the tyre lottery, but BMW would not put inferior tyres on a car like this. I have done 6,000 miles in my Comp Xdrive and found them to be great. According to the dealer, Michelins don’t last as long and are supplied with slightly less than the expected 8mm on new tyres. I have 5.5 mm all round left.

[StanislavK82]

Beautiful color, really makes the car look good. Please take some outside pictures too when you have a chance. I have azurite on my f80 so i am partial to the color. Subtle but great when the light hits it.

My thoughts exactly. It's a more sinister Tanzanite. I think it perfectly fits the attitude of the G80. Would be impossible to prevent swirls without full body ppf and ceramic though but D@mn that looks sexy!
