WOW, if i found that earlier i honestly would have considered selling my '03 sport 5-speed with 66k miles for a slightly newer X, rarer color, and a sixth gear. What a steal at 11k, i paid 14 for mine a year ago.


The guys on this forum who are manual transmission purists, know what a great find that was. Then there's the "more power" crowd, who don't care about driving a stick, they just care about going fast and only think you can enjoy an X5 if you have 2 more cylinders.

I am a purist, I couldn't enjoy my X as much if I didnt row my own gears. Beating people stoplight to stoplight? I have a motorcycle for that, I don't need to use my 2.5 ton grocery getter SUV.


Even epdarks with his Dinan 4.6is appreciates the rarity and value in a 6 speed 3.0, and he has more power than most on the forum.
