So, I found out, adapting of x-drive on N62-powered X5 to manual isn't a problem at all, so it's doable and yes there will be a kit, which will also include the x-drive adaptation for manual tranny swap.

I just have to test the current 4.6is properly and hope nothing will break down.

In march 2013 I'll do a similar conversion of N62 powered X5 4.4.

Regards,

Nick
