Request for real world Carbon Black X3 M Sport pics

I recently ordered a fully loaded M Sport in Carbon Black with black Nevada leather and Fine Line Wave wood trim. But I’m on the fence on the color between the Carbon Black and Black Sapphire. I still have about a week window to change my mind. I’ve seen the “building” tool on BMW UK’s website but I don’t think it’s a fair representation of Carbon Black. To me it looks like a shade darker than Deep Sea Blue. Feedback would be appreciated or better yet pictures.

Thanks in advance.

just google bmw carbon black and there are a bunch of 6 series m sport, x5 m sport that has carbon black metallic on it that looks better.

I personally ordered carbon black too as it is a special colour that can only be had with the m sport package.

I have the old X3 (Year 2010) in Black Sapphire, and my neighbour copied us and also bought an X3. Theres is the Carbon black, and honestly the Black Sapphire looks much better. In the sun the carbon looks like a deep blue rather than black and even in the rain etc.. never really looks black, however if your looking for more of a blue tint it would suit.

I love the color. It adds a deep shade of blue to black sapphire that comes out at certain angles and in certain lights. It has wonderful depth.
