I've owned 2 jet balck cars. A 200 xtera and a '04 Saab 93 Aero. They both looked awesome all clean and shined up. But the real problem was that within a year of their lives. Both paint jobs were trashed by weather, blowing sand (Nevada, NM) swirl marks, hard water stains, etc. Although I busted my ass waxing and cleaning almost every weekend, it eventually made no difference. I now have a space gray M3 with venture shield almost 100% of the car and even if I didn't get the paintshield. On the rear quarter panels and trunk lid where I still have to get the paintshield done, the paint is already 7 months old and under direct sunlight I can't see any swirl marks or imperfections in the paint. Looks brand new!
Black looks mean, tough, slick. The M3 especially I think looks bad ass in black but what a pain in the ass to keep in good shape.
I'd go with metalic gray's or white and save yourself the trouble. But man, black sure looks good.
