6 speed vs 5 speed...'better', all things being 'equal'.
The first 5 gears in the 6 speed are identical to the 5 speed box, with the addition of a slightly overdriven 6th gear = slightly less rpms at cruising speed.
Newton,NJ...my guess is Bell BMW, where I bought my '01, way back in Sept 2001.
If I still lived in NY, I would wander over and give it a look.
Just because a BMW is selling it, doesn't mean they looked at it very hard. If they are willing to cough up its 'history', that would be helpful, but doubt they will.
Interesting car, even with the 101k miles...
