BMW's black color is called Sapphire Black. Here is an introduction about BMW: Introduction: BMW (abbreviated as BMW) is a German automobile brand, belonging to the BMW Group. It has four model lines: i, X, Z, and pure numbers, as well as series such as 1, 2, 3, etc., and the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements to each series. The BMW logo's B.M.W. stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and the colors and combination of the logo come from the coat of arms of Bavaria, where BMW is headquartered. Model Series: BMW's model series include 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (discontinued), i, M, X, and Z. Among them, the 1 Series is a compact car, the 3 Series is a mid-size car, the 4 Series is a mid-size coupe (including convertibles), the 5 Series is a mid-to-large-size car, the 6 Series is a mid-to-large-size coupe (including convertibles), the 7 Series is a luxury D-segment car, the i Series is BMW's non-mass-produced concept car series, M is BMW's high-performance and sports car version, the X Series is BMW's specific SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) series, and the Z Series is BMW's entry-level sports car.
I think BMW has quite a few black color names. The most common one is Carbon Black Metallic, which is a metallic paint that shines with silver highlights under sunlight, looking ultra-premium. Among my friends who drive BMWs, they all say this color perfectly complements the sporty exterior and turns heads on the street. Jet Black is also quite popular, with a hint of deep blue tone, suitable for those who prefer understated luxury. Jet Black is the basic option—pure black without metallic effects and prone to scratches. BMW's color naming always draws inspiration from nature; for example, Carbon Black resembles the varying shades of sapphire. When choosing a color, personal preference and car model matter—like how Carbon Black enhances the premium feel of the new 5 Series, while Jet Black makes the 3 Series look sportier. Overall, these blacks give the car a sophisticated appearance, but maintenance-wise, using professional wax is key to avoid rain stains affecting the visual appeal.
