There have been two X5s with 5 speeds in Minneapolis Craigslist recently. A silver one with 150k asking $8k and a black with 180k asking $7k iirc.

I believe there is at least one or two other stick shift X5s on forums and eBay. They are around, I trust you'll find one if that is what you're after.

While I do agree that mileage isn't everything, the reality is that the higher the mileage the more likely you are to have failures.

Since you know about the 3.0 you know what it will need over time. Assume that the average X5 owner has no clue how to properly maintain the X.

Let me keep an eye out for you, I know I've seen a few more for sale. Brb.
