hi mate , there is diamond black , and shwartz black , diamond is mettallic and schwartz is straight black, hope this helps.

[johnono]

there are different blacks yes, and diamond black is one of them,.but there are not 2 types of diamond black if u get what i mean

if u can get a paint code or summin then that would make life soo much easier

[smithy318i]

Check the paint code on your VIN plate.

Although, my old black 316 was just Black Black

Schwartz is german for black!!

There are a few blacks, there's metallic diamond black, there's a flat black, (can't remember what it was caled now!) and there's jet black as the sport evo was painted.

[mrLEE30]

Diamond black is metallic?
Schwartz black is just gloss black??

[Kos]

diamond schwarts is german for diamond black, no actual difference in colour BUT there are 3 different shades of it !!

Your 2 door is just black (schwarz) and the touring is diamond black same as my 327i looks like the 181/9 shade as well.
