RE: advice sought on M-5 exterior colors (black vs. black) and in teri or trim

I know that a black car looks really, really sharp. However, it gets
dirty (or rather, shows the dirt) real fast. It also shows up swirl
marks from poor waxing very badly.

If you have your heart stuck on black, I recommend using Zaino Bros. wax
products.

Subject: advice sought on M-5 exterior colors (black vs. black) and
interi or trim


I'm about to order an M-5 in the USA, and I would like some advice.

Among the exterior colors available for the M-5 are Jet Black
(non-metallic) and Carbon Black (metallic).  I believe that Carbon Black
is unique to the M-5. Is that right?

Can someone please describe the difference between Jet Black and
Carbon Black?  (It's hard to tell from the brochure!). 

Likewise, there are two choices for the (exclusive interior) trim: Burr
Walnut and Bruyere Wood, and I believe that Bruyere Wood is unique to
the M-5?  Is that right?  And can someone please describe the
difference between these (again, it's hard to tell from the
brochure!).

Any opinions/advice colors/trip would be appreciated.  Thanks.
