You've got... lets see... Red, White, Cream/gold and Green.... but where's
black?

I mean really!  Who would buy anything other than a cool black vehicle!?!
Just think of Kitt.

Hmm I wonder if there is a POV model of Kitt floating around on the web.

You do realise metallic black is a contradiction? Well nearly, it would still
glitter but it would lose the illumination properties which are the whole reason
I started this!

I agree, black cars are way cooler than red or green ones.

I take it back, metallic black looks cool! Like I said it's just the reflection
and the glitter, but it looks much better than I thought it would.

Though I still don't recall ever seeing a metallic black car.

I almost see one every day. Did you never see a metallic black BMW?

Apparently not. Looking round the office car park I can see lots of metallic
cars, red, silver, about a dozen different greens, but no metallic black.

...Actually I can't see any black cars here! Maybe it's unpopular with my
colleagues. I'm sure you're right, I just prefer black cars that aren't
metallic, like Kitt :)

I was going to answer you, that black metallic can't be done, but BWM 
does indeed have a Carbon Black Metallic. I found a picture of it at
http://www.bmwworld.com/pics/3er/e46/m3/6074_1024.jpg

The metallic effect is not obvious, but that may be due to poor picture 
quality.

I can see it, just look near the highlight, there's a large blue/green metallic
highlight. Which actually means it's a very dark blue/green, not black! :)

It is black, photgraph is of a very low quality, so the colors may look a
bit different :-P.

I've made some pictures of black audi's last winter. The cars were parked
just a few meters away from were the bus stopped, and I could not resist the
temptation of making pictures.

I know the quality is realy bad, but at least it are (metallic) black cars.
