Is a manual trans worth the $5K premium?
RARE 5-SPEED MANUAL 2001 BMW E53 X5 - 242K Miles - $8,500 (Hillside)
https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto...612402122.html
Rare 5-speed manual BMW e53 X5 with many professionally installed extras. I've had this vehicle since 2013 and I am the second owner. Comes with 2 keys and all manuals. Does not have sunroof which is rare and lowers center of gravity, thus making this truck feel like a car. Only one accident, which was with me. I was rear ended, and only damage was to bottom hatch. It has the m54 straight six which runs very smooth and quiet. I've always done my oil changes on time, everytime. Here is a list of features, upgrades and maintenance items.
