Is this Terra or Saddle brown?

In the process of (slowly) swapping my Black interior and I am trying to confirm the color of these door panels I picked up.

I am not convinced that the sellers information is accurate. They claim they are Terra but it is hard to tell with the shadowy photos.

If you know the year of the car, you can be sure, since Saddle replaced Terra, I believe.

Regardless, that sure looks like Saddle to me. I have saddle brown interior on my E93 and that looks almost identical.

Very hard to tell. The seller claims it is Terra but I am not convinced.

Here is a comparison photo. Saddle on the left, Terra on the right.

Yeah - I can't give a definitive answer, either. Do you know what year the car was it came out of?

That would help.

Not sure there is one but I will find out. The seller had a lot of BMW parts from various models and gens.

The panels arrived today.

In person they look darker than some of the Saddle photos I have been looking at. Looks like they have a brown/red base (vs the yellow/orange base of Saddle).

I was convinced they are Terra. However, the Prod. Date sticker on the back of each reads Dec 2009.


Thoughts?

Confirmed Saddle Brown. Just found out there is a sticker behind the trim that tells the color code.

These read "sattelbraun".

Thanks guys!
