They ended up replacing the carpet and padding/insulation. If it makes you feel any better, all seems fine now - no musty odor or any residual issue. I don't recall them having to remove the console or seats - if they did, I couldn't tell when I got it back.

The only problem was getting the replacement carpet - it took weeks to come in, perhaps because I have the less popular tobacco color. Didn't bother me, my x5 is two years old and I was provided a real nice loaner. You may feel differently since you just took delivery. Good luck.
I would say it's the sunroof as well. If not, I've heard of the windshield wiper fluid leaking as well. I bet it's the sunroof drain. Let us know what they find...
