Now that's funny. Unfortunately I have recently been there, done that with BMW USA. Start pulling them up and looking at the pictures, I think you will be suprised. Especially those 133 '07 Manuals (since it doesn't seem like BMW made any Manual E70's for US consumption)...

There is a green 2005 manual transmission model on the BMWUSA website. It is a little bit north of you.....

Never tried to check BMWUSA for accuracy on used vehicle listings before, I didn't realize that the definition of manual transmission wasn't clear. Must be a USA thing, as I never had this problem locally.

I did check the dealer listing for the one I mentioned above, and the dealer posting confirms it to be a manual, as does the text description. No guarantees, though.

I hit the BMW NA locator site, as I had done and posted previously
in a another thread of the OPs...I found this '06 6 speed manual:

http://www.suntrupbmw.com/VehicleDetails/1087036794

They are "around", they are not easy to find, as previously noted, but
not sure we all want to line up to do the search...but I'll keep an eye
out for your custom order needs.

Thanks guys, just if you come across any PLEASE let me know..especially a certified on...they have 0.9 % financing !!!!
