Color change w203

I am getting my w203 painted. But i am not sure what color.

I am thinking about 040 black, 197 black, bmw 668 schwarz II, bwm 475 sapphire schwarz,...

My car is already '05 197 black, but i want a deeper black on my car.

Like this w211...

I don't know why you'd just go black if you were going with a total color change.

If I were doing black, I'd go with a BMW frozen black.

I know where you are coming from, you want the blackest black possible. MB is very good about that with many many shades of black. The 040 (s class black) is hard to beat.

CLS320cdi, GL350BT, ML270cdi
the color from the vid won't be enough i guess, that is 0025 (designo black),
It has a darkblue metallic in it, which comes out when the sun is on it.

040 will suit your needs i think.

2006 C230, 2006 BMW M3, bye bye C55:(
Bmw's Carbon Black.

Cant beat it if you're going for a deep black look with a tint of blue

Or, if you're going for just black, 040. Our W140 is 040 black and it is a very deep and beautiful color

I am going with 040. I want black. Not with a shade of blue or something.

I had my w201 painted in 197 2 times. One had a green pearl in it. The other one a light golf flake.

I am looking for a clean deep black look now for my w203. So my painter also advised me to go with 040.

Thanks guys!

I will post picks when i'm done.

It will be a w203 c200cdi 2005 with amg kit, carbonfiber stuff, custom RH AN Crossline 19", Bilstein B16 PSS9, ....

W203
I had my car painted 040 and don't love it enough to paint an already black car this black. I'd take the suggestions of one of the BMW blacks.
