You know, never really thought of checking Ebay as I have been burnt once with out-of-state sales (not that it always happens), probably my fault not doing my due diligence? Oh well, anyways I will check them out on Ebay just to "see"..

I am pretty happy with mine although its only been a full day. I do notice the ride a bit "harder" - as is always mentioned with the pre-07 models; than even my previous 540i 6 speeds (97,98,99) But, not uncomfortably so, kinda' like how my '02 M3 rode?

Don't all E83 M-sports (and sport packages) have run flats? that could contribute to the harsher ride, I remember my mom-in-law's ex-E83 rode stiff as balls with sport package (hers was a 2010) and the runflats, and she only had 18s, not even the 19's which were option on E83.

Here are the ones I found on ebay today (all autos):

BMW : X3 xDrive30i in BMW | eBay Motors

BMW : X3 3.0si in BMW | eBay Motors


And my favorite (check out those 19s!)
BMW : X3 3.0si in BMW | eBay Motors


More pics of your ride (especially the interior and that steering wheel mmmmmm) you don't have N52 in the '06? What do you have then, still M54?
