No, not the same. Compatible? Maybe.
You want any G-48 antifreeze. SAAB (blue) and BMW OEM in the US are G-48. I have seen some references to the fact that VW dealers in the US sell G-48 for older models. In Europe VW uses G-11 and G-12.
G-05 antifreeze is commonly available at retail auto part stores in the US (Zerex G-05) and is extremely similar to G-48. Both are HOAT type, except G-05 contains slightly more silicone (290 vs. 250 ppm) and has nitrites. Out of all "common" US antifreeze types, G-05 is the most similar to SAAB blue.
I personally use only SAAB OEM coolant. It is excellent and fairly cheap.
