E53 manuals are like unicorns, though I have our '01 since new.
Other than the higher up seating position, they are heavy, lumbering cars esp for a new driver/slow speed steering/learning the pedals situ, imo.
I am going to teach our 16+ yr old Grand D to drive our VetteVert 6 Spd, so I get your goal.

There are a few around and I'm going to look at one in Phoenix next week. I just have to weigh the shipping cost into the purchase price.
Bottom line, if I don't like the way it drives, I'll look into a different vehicle. With that said, if she can learn on a X5 MT, she can probably drive anything in the future. Plus, I don't have to worry about any of her friends asking to borrow her car...
