I went to my dealer yesterday and asked my CA to do a search on ordered X5's to see if there are any with Saddle Brown on order. He went to the "Vehicle Locator" page on his system and interesting enough the list of interior colors available for the search purposes had Saddle Brown listed in it, even though on the "Order" page there is still no SB listed. He did a search on X5 3.0si's with SB and four of them came up with the following color combos:

-Black Sapphire/Saddle Brown
-Space Gray/Saddle Brown
-Alpine White/Saddle Brown
-Monaco Blue/Saddle Brown

So as of yesterday there were at least 4 X5's with Saddle Brown interior on order (we did not check and 4.8i's). Some of those must belong to some members here.

I wanted to thank everyone who responded to this thread with the info they had. So as of now it seems like you can get Saddle Brown interior on your US X5, but you have to place an order using any of the other interior colors first, and then have the dealer call BMW NA and ask them to do a manual change on the order to Saddle Brown.
