Oyster has to be a maintenance nightmare to keep clean.

I'm sure Saddle can be a special order.

Hey great minds think alike. I was thinking the exact same thing! It's a perfect color if you are single and have dry cleaned clothes on at all times. I'd love to see that interior color on a 6 month old X5 with 3 row seating as used by a young family. Should be nice.

Well I am single and I have dry cleaned clothes (not all the time though ha) and I wouldn't touch that interior---between my dog, and wear and tear it would be impossible to keep looking new. That's why nobody likes white couches. I always get black though the saddle has some interest by me but still would show dirt.

I agree with you, but honestly brown colors age quite well. I have seen saddle that is 2-3 years old and still looks great.

Hey Guys,
Just got back from placing order...sure enough, Jet black is a special order and not available yet. Ours will be third week of April for June arrival. It was a bit of a whirlwind and I wasn't able to really go through the ordering guide with prices, but here's what I do remember:

Xdrive 35i Premium - Comes with Style 334 19" Wheels, which I haven't seen in person
Tech Package - $3,100 (2010 was $2,600)
Comfort Access - $1000
Multi-Contour Seats - $1300
Sirius- $350
Convenience - $2000 (i think)

We lost the Holiday Credit by passing on the 2010 we previously ordered, but the final and the MSRP of the 2011 was almost $2000 more than the 2010 equipped with the same options. So it looks like it cost me $4500 + whatever less favorable lease rates I'm expecting to go to the N55 & 8-speed auto from the XDrive 30. It hurts, but I think I would have been really unhappy had we taken delivery of that car. At least my CA is honoring our $1000 over invoice deal.

If anyone has actual pics of 19" style 334 wheels, please post! I've seen the ones in the ordering guide for Europe and they look alright to me.

2011 US Order Guide. It shows no M Package for the Diesel. Can they install the M Exterior Parts at the Port ?

So did you order Jet Black? Or is June the time line for colors that are available? I ask because I will be ordering soon and my lease is up in may. Congrats on the order though Cant wait to get into the dealer myself and start checking boxes
