x5..thse are rare...but if you know about one email me...
I have called around to all the local dealers (Ft Lauderdale) I think they won't take them in because only a few of us nutty BMW people want them.

I think he means an X5 with a six speed Manual transmission. They are a needle in the haystack, but they are around. You will need alot of patience to find a nice one, equipped the way you want. You'll most likley have to make some comprimises on color/trim/etc to get one...

I have the time to wait...
It seems that all the ones I've found are some form of grey (silver) or black
I want a Green, Burgundy or Beige....which makes it even harder...
oh well......I'll keep my 528 till then.

Pretty simple to log onto www.bmwusa.com, select certified pre-owned (CPO), and do a dealer search. I looked today and there were 138 manual transmission X5s listed. Not much there at the moment for 2006 models (just one), but there are 133 of the 2007 models listed. Take your pick of colours, options, and locations.

So there were 5 e53's listed.

I did a quick search on autotrader and it listed 9 2006 models. none of which were actually manuals.

LOL! Yes, isn't it funny how the dealers seem to list so many Automatic transmission vehicles as manuals because they are 'tip-tronic'. Its really annoying, but as you go through and look at the photos, you'd be lucky if 1% of those listed as manuals truly are. You can't even get an E70 ('07 and up) with a manual, can you?

Yes, 5 E53s, but those are just the CPO units available. There are more if you could search for non-CPO (if in fact you wanted to do so...)

I think the E53 manuals are generally manuals on the BMW CPO site, unlike non-dealer listings. My experience wasn't on BMWUSA, it was on BMW.CA, though. YMMV
