Saddle Brown & Grill Questions

[pmanchuk]

Perhaps someone can help me here with a couple questions (forgive me in advance... newbie here) about the Saddle Brown interior on US spec X5's as well as the front grills...

1. It seems that Saddle Brown in the only interior color that results in the lower portion of the doors and dashboard being black, as opposed to all of it matching the interior color (ie. if you order Sand, the lower portions would be in sand as well). Am I correct that this is the only color choice where it is only applied from the door pull up to the wood trim?

2. If you order Saddle Brown. the headliner would be grey UNLESS you also order the sport package resulting in the darker anthracite headliner (in effect making the interior closer to 2-tone as opposed to 3)... is this correct?

3. Is the Saddle Brown a Nappa or Nevada leather, or can you order it in either type?

4. On the 4.8i, are the kidney grills the titanium ones standard or is that part of another package?

5. On some pics, the lower mesh grills (below the kidney grills) are black, and in others, it's a lighter grey color... what determines that color?

6. Finally, on the BMW configurator, they list the running boards under options for $300, but then also list "aluminum" running boards under "accessories" for $565... are these two items the same or is there a difference?

I apologize for all the questions, but I'm toying with the idea of replacing my e60 M5 with a new X5 4.8... as painful as that sounds, I do need more space, I love the look of the X5, and it would be more financially "responsible" (payment wise) over the M5 in light of the big "R" we're facing that no one wants to recognize LOL Thanks for the help in clearing up my questions.
