Our '01 has the older 5 spd manual...quite "rare", as in few of us knuckleheads
ordered the manual.
The 6 spd manual has the same 5 gear ratios, including the stump puller first
gear ratio; it does have a slightly od 6th for highway.
How "rare"? I have never seen any mention of 6 spd manual data anywhere on
the net, for X5s...
Hard to answer your friend's optimism; if a buyer wants the 6 spd, that buyer
will probably pursue that car, though no mention of mileage, condition, etc.
I doubt any willing buyer will pay any kind of "premium" for the manual trans.
Your friend will find most dlrs looking down their noses at his 6 spd, as most
interested "general" X buyers aren't aware an X could even be had with manual,
and most don't want it. My 50Cts...
