Looking forward to seeing those sexy Truffle sport seats!


Here is another Alpine White 6-speed, its a 2005, looks to be lower optioned model as I don't see heated seat buttons, but mileage is very low at 69k, and besides some wear to the drivers bolster (normal), looks good! Already has black kidney grills and a black roof as well (don't know if its painted or wrapped)

LMAO! It is clean as hell but 16k! He traded to carmax for 10!

Seems this is the place to post that I added a sport package three pedal x5 to my collection last week. I got a great deal since the battery had a short and nothing worked. So far I've replaced the battery and alternator. Along with the belts and throttle body elbow which was half missing. The condition of it is very good by used car standards but with wotk should equall the condition of my 540i.

Don't have any pictures yet. I live in tye country near amana and work in cedar rapids. Today I plan to change the oil and install the magnetic drain plug as well as attempt to fix abs sensors. Only the front drivers is sending a signal. Also have to look at my brake switch on the pedal since the brake light don't shut off. Lucky for me I have a snap on verdict to use

Add me to the registry ...

2006 X5 3.0L 6 speed, Black sapphire metallic mit trueffelbroun sportsitzen, sports and premium packages, no nav [thank goodness!] Build sheet attached. Purchased as soon as it appeared on the market from a fine BMW performance shop, Enthusiast Auto, outside Cincinnati. Paid more than I would like, but close to blue book in excellent condition with $4k worth of work [brakes, tires, other fixes] done for the sale.

Count me in for the CDV replacement and UUC ssk shift kit once they have it. I'm a clutch and shift guy from way back, had an E36 5-spd until two years ago, and love everything about the E53 w/M54 six, except the goofy 'short' 1st gear and sloppy shifting. I'll reach out to UUC, located about 20 miles from me, and offer mine up for the first install when I have them do the CDV [though I would otherwise do that myself]. Given my experience with Redline products in the E36 and a Ford diesel truck, I'll go to MTL in the gearbox, their ATF in the transfer case, and their gear oil in the diffs when I get to 90k miles .......

Ricky B, can you get the moderators to make this a sticky, and see if you can get a list of serious 'buyers' for the UUC shift kit for my sales pitch to UUC? Great site, I've already learned a lot.

CDV delete is free if you want to do it yourself, will definitely fix the sloppy engagement and the truck will be driving much smoother! Appreciate you checking into UUC for us, wonder how different the 5-speed shifter is than the 6-speed? I know Gregory891 from Switzerland has been following up with UUC for over a year now trying to get the shifter made for 5-speed models.

Personally, I wouldn't mind putting in a short shifter as I always enjoyed more solid engagement and such on my VW's, and I'm sure at about 100k all the bushings in the shifter need to be replaced as they are sloppy anyway. I'm not so big of a fan of the $350 price tag of the shifter though, I miss the old days of my Volkswagens where short shifters were 150 at the most, so depending on availability and pricing, I might pass on it, but it would be nice to see it available for purchase!

A late model 6-speed with Sports package and premium package is extremely rare to come by, so glad to hear you picked it up (and truffle brown leather mmmmm)! If tires, brakes and other items were being fixed on it I'd definitely pay a premium, as opposed to an X that needs work.

How many miles on that bad boy? As far as fluids go, I changed my diffs with Redline 75w-90, my pre-facelift transfer case with Redline ATF (you have Xdrive so you must use factory fluid on that, I saw you mentioned Redline ATF but the facelift transfer case does not use it, the factory fill is not cheap but it only takes a liter I believe, you definitely want to change that to fresh fluid when you can), and manual trans with Redline MTL fluid over a year ago, I was clocked at about 63k miles then. My intervals for driveline fluids have always been around 50k, its cheap insurance in my opinion, so I'd recommend if you are above 50k to just switch them out.

Honestly I don't know another vehicle I would give up an X5 manual for, this vehicle with a proper transmission drives better than any car I've had, and can literally do anything and go anywhere I would need it to, love my manual X.



I'll reach out to one of the mods as far as making it a sticky goes, you're right it would be helpful to the community if you register and see this at the top of the forum, good idea!


Pics when you get a chance (and latenightflyby, you too!)

Trueffelbroun Sportsitze

Ok, if you guys lust after truffle brown sportsitzen, I'll post a couple of pix, provided by the seller.

I understand I can just remove the CDV, but will pay the UUC guys to install their replacement if it helps motivate them to machine a ssk to fit this six speed. RB, I'm with you on the old VW gearboxes; my first car was a yellow 1970 Karmann Ghia convertible with four on the floor .... my only fame on sorority row in college was being known as "that guy with the cute car"

Please do make the registry a sticky and lets' get together 'prospect lists' for 5 and 6 speed UUC shift kits and make it worth UUC's while ...

wow man, she looks gorgeous! the only thing missing on it (for me) is the cold weather package, the Jersey winters I need my heated seats! But to be honest since it is late model and sport equipped 6-speed, I probably wouldn't miss those at all! You don't need them in Georgia anyway lol.

Looks clean as hell man, I'm jealous! How many miles on her again?

And I see what you're doing with the UUC thing, you'll pay them for service (scratch their back) a little, hopefully they can do us a solid and make shifters? Nice!


PM Gregory891 if you'd like, he has had UUC's ear about making the 5-speed shifter for a while now, maybe you two could coordinate a plan of attack for getting these in production. Any plans for any sort of mods on the X!


Karmann Ghia, wow man, talk about old school! That's solid though, a classic for sure!

81k and change mileage at purchase; good tip on the transfer case fluid. I'll try and visit UUC over the next week or so when up that way to make the pitch. My seller is an "M" speciality operation, got my non-M X5 in as a trade. I would recommend them for anyone interested in buying an M or other bimmer passing through their very professional operation.
