ok im not sure if this belongs here but its rare to find a car almost exactly the same as mine since my car's color is cashmere beige metallic.. with that said i saw one of my neighbors with one and i was pretty shocked but anyways his is an auto and i hope to talk to him about it sometime in the near future you know tell him all the things he should know like RSM's, obc light, coolant level sensor, srs, etc....

I have yet to see another Bimmer in Diamond Black . . christ, I can't even get aftermarket parts painted in that color.

**B3M2W5i** · 08-28-2005, 11:01 PM

so what is the difference between diamond black, jet black and cosmos black?

DEATH2000 · 08-28-2005, 11:49 PM

Jet black is not as shiny. Diamond i think has a brilliant shine/reflectiveness to it.

Diamond is actually a very dark gray, with metallic specks. Jet is a standard color from the dealer, while Cosmos and Diamond are options, and add a little more to the price tag of the car. On current models, I believe there are only 3 or 4 standard colors, and the rest are $450 options.
