Plus when we had that ice/snow storm last year the automatic was definitely better suited for that vs the manual.

Last plus for the automatic is the odds on finding a manual trans x5 at ALL are slim so you will have to take what you find.

Going with an automatic allows you to find one that has all the other options you want and to focus more on the overall condition since you wont be settling for what few if any manual ones you may find.
I'm insistent of a manual for several reasons and may end up with a X3 or e90. She's not 15 yet, so I have time to look.
