I am moving to an X5 from an older Land Rover '96 Discovery, the last year that manuals were made in a Discovery. I am a committed manual driver, but was surprisingly pleased when testing an '06 4.4 steptronic in the manual mode. However, being the purist that I am, I am still considering the 6 speed manual (only available in a 3.0, as I understand. I have my eye on several that are available.) Does anyone have any thoughts on the trade off in power of a six speed manual 3.0, but being able to drive a manual, versus the 4.4 steptronic? Thanks for any feedback.
Buyer to be.
