330i2X5,

I sa one at a dealership recently. It looks great! It is a little lighter than the pic that you posted, but darker than the beige that is available in the US. The contract with the black trim and carpet really highlights the colour. Camel is a very accurate description as it almost perfectly matches a classic cashmere winter coat.

I love it, for some reason I think that color is awesome....

Such an improvement over the "Cinnamon" color offered in cars like the earlier M5's.

There seems to be a lot of support for the Saddle Brown from the USA members. Maybe it's time to get a partition together and let BMW USA know how you feel and get it introduced.

Wait, the link is of an interior in Camel or Saddle Brown? Either way it's beautiful. Black, Grey, Beige, and the God aweful Tobacco should be dumped.

Bring on the Saddle brown with the black dash like the brochures depict! Why does BMW tease us with color combinations that we can not order? My SO is consistantly reminding me that I am compromising if I accept anything less that what we both agreed on.

About ready to cancel my order for the 4.8 with tobacco - we want the Saddle leather.

Shallow huh?

Not shallow. Good judgement. I bought a used X5 but held out for Truffle brown.
