Yes, they are hard to find. My sales rep tried for a few minutes to talk us out of special-ordering it, said we would have one of the very few around and it would be hard to sell it. I agree there aren't many around, but I don't think it will be hard to sell. Our 325 with a manual sold to the first person that called off Craigslist within hours of listing it, he was searching for a manual xi. I am going to sell my 535 with a manual, and my same sales rep advised that I won't have any problem selling it, there is demand. My wife is the one who insisted on the manual in the X3, it is primarily her car. She has never owned an automatic and doesn't want to start now (but she is going to have to, soon, I fear).
Great to see your enthusiasm for your X3. I agree that they are very capable vehicles.
