Hi guys, double newbie here - new to own BMW and new to X5

I picked up a 2006 BMW X5 with 6 speed manual out of NC about a month ago. Flu there to check it / pick it up, drove it back to NY. Like the car very much, did not, honestly, expected it to behave on the road the way it does, it may be not the quickest (I have a Infiniti Q50AWD as daily driver) but handles very well for a 2.5 ton truck.
Will post some pictures later.

Oh wow - someone does read these posts - thanks, error was corrected X5, not X6.
I can't even imagine how may X6 fans would be jealous if I could magically get one with manual, LOL

Very nice truck, congrats! I would love to find an 06 manual, or really any year facelift with manual and sport package.

Hi, You were too quick to reply - I had to load pics in to Photoshop and reduce the size like 4 times because website was not happy with amount of pixels/size of them.
