x5 3.0i Manual or Tiptronic?

[The Big Easy]

Manny, depends on your style of driving and personal prefs, but mine is a manual, I have never purchased autos. Even if your stuck in traffic in So Cal, changing gears is therapeutic for me as is being in total control of the car. Nothing nicer than letting her rip, and changing when you want to. Fuel consusmption = does it matter......?!

So, yes, 6 sp man please!!

Cheers,

Thanks very much for the advise .....TBE................Manny....yes, me too never purchased autos.....but people at the dealership keeps suggesting that if I'm buying SUV should be auto.

The sales guys are only trying to push what they have on the lot, which are 99% 5speed Steptronics. So...just get whatever you want and ignore the sales pitches.
