[E34N]

I believe it was explained to me like this once...
schwartz is Jet Black with clear on top (two stage spray).. and schwartz II is Jet black (single stage spray)

I believe you'll find that to be backward. 086 Schwarz is the original BMW black used on vintage motorcycles and all cars up until the E34 M5 which used a clearcoat over black and called it Glanz Schwarz or Jet Black; Glasurit/BMW code 668.
Schwarz II is simply clearcoated black and an updated name for Jet Black. Glasurit now lists only the Schwarz-II name for color code 668.

hats Diamant Schawrtz then?

[Paul in NZ]

dimant swarchz has a metallic flake in it.its a funny clour,in some light its jet black other times its almost grey...but then you would know that

Diamond Black is #181, a totally different color, as others have said. Like most metallics, it reflects its surroundings sometimes coming off as a blue tinted black (like diamonds, when reflecting a blue sky), to a green (grass), or just about anything it's near. One of my favorite colors (E28) but very rare on E34s in the U.S.

668 is called Schwarz II, the Jetblack name is only for North America, probably because it's sounds cooler = it's the same color.

There's more than one variety BTW: depending on the amount of metallic and the color black used. Mine for instance is very metallic and looks grey easily whereas the other varieties can be more black or blue. Try looking up some touchup paint for it. You'll find it hard to get a superexact match without testing.
