TIL You can get these without sunroofs! I didn't even know that was a thing.


Surprising how beat up that car, as well as poorly cleaned up, before they list it for auction. It's definitely a rare one, but has a ton of cosmetic issues. Someone should rescue it.

A unicorn for sure, but get a load of the underhood rust. Having had a New England salt car before I bought the X5, no thank you. Had enough of busted knuckles and broken bolts/ studs.

1st one I have ever seen in over 23 years since we bought a 3.0 in December of 2000. I thought IT was rare bc of the manual HVAC controls (no premium package) but WITH the sport package. Odd bird.

But this one... *AND* a six speed!? A 2006 six speed? WOW. Feels like it was maybe a military member's import or something. Our '04 4.4 is one of two small sunroof 2004 unicorns I have owned. I really like the smaller roof.
