Why would you want an X3 with automatic? While I have a 2.5iA, I really wished it was a manual.

FYI: The US has had the no-cost AT option for X3s since 2006. Probably to stimulate interest and lower lease rates (most folks seem to lease X3s). I think it's absurd and BMW should charge the regular $1.275 for AT. They should also charge for the moonroof, but Americans also demand moonroofs, despite the fact they never use them.
