The transmission issue, the multiple oil leaks, the window regulator, etc etc etc. Which equals a potential few thousand $$$. Even if done yourself. Car will sit at that price.

^ Agreed, it's a bucket of known headaches. Can definitely find a better example at that price with a bit of patience.

Sweet ride. I'll have look to convert mine from wood trim to color trim.

If you do, I'll take the hitch and interior trim pieces!
Rear heated seats too!

Is a manual trans worth the $5K premium?

RARE 5-SPEED MANUAL 2001 BMW E53 X5 - 242K Miles - $8,500 (Hillside)
https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto...612402122.html



Rare 5-speed manual BMW e53 X5 with many professionally installed extras. I've had this vehicle since 2013 and I am the second owner. Comes with 2 keys and all manuals. Does not have sunroof which is rare and lowers center of gravity, thus making this truck feel like a car. Only one accident, which was with me. I was rear ended, and only damage was to bottom hatch. It has the m54 straight six which runs very smooth and quiet. I've always done my oil changes on time, everytime. Here is a list of features, upgrades and maintenance items.

- Bavarian Auto Performance ignition coils -Clutch fan delete to Electric fan
-Custom intake box with K&N filter

-H&R Lowering springs and Bilstien sport shocks -700 watt Kicker sound system with integrated subwoofers.
-Electrically adjustable rear seats

-A/C and Heat work perfect
-2-way remote start alarm
-Front and Rear facing Dash Cam

I feel like that's a fair ask in mint condition and yes the manuals definitely have a higher asking price. I laughed about the lower center of gravity comment. It's a 5k lbs suv, a 100lb sunroof cassette isn't going to make a noticeable difference.

Didn't see the milage, yeah 8500 might be a bit too high for this one. I'd maybe pay 5k

IMHO no, not for a truck that seems to have lived its life where they salt the roads. If there are a couple of visible rust spots you can be guaranteed there are more that aren't visible. Replaced the rear subframe and that's a "common issue"? Not that I've ever heard. The subframe bushings yes, the entire subframe, no. It might be common in NJ because of salted roads in the winter? It looks nice, but I wouldn't pay an extra $5k for it.
