You are basically driving a unicorn. You can always get used doors on ebay with the same color. Since they made so many e53 models over the years, used parts will be in abundance for a while. Except for OE trailer hitches and manual transmissions. I bought mine since I prefer a manual over auto, and because manual transmission cars in general are on the endangered species list.
