New X5 Owner!
Trading a 2006 325xi in. Not that I want to get rid of my manual transmission but we own a winery and I need something BIGGER! After checking out a few SUVs, none of them drive like the X5. Hopefully pics next week. |

You can get an X5 with a manual transmission you know...

A premature welcome, ratbert. Several here, like me, or advocates for manual transmission X5s, but they are pretty hard to find. That low a mileage version bodes well for the auto versions, too. I'm with you on ditching the NAV, I was glad mine didn't have one.

I searched for a manual and only found one, 3 hours away with higher miles. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of spare time or time to wait until one surfaces closer. At least I still have my 1974 Super Beetle, Crossfire and 911 that are all stick!
The tires on it now are Nokian Vatiiva and they look like they will be great in snow. I have a set of dedicated snows for my 325 that are awesome, so I may get some for the X5 too. Where I live AWD is almost a necessity and snows make it even better. The nav screen is old and worn out. Monday night I will play with the stereo and see if I can get some decent sound out of it. I know how to set it on my 325, so it should be close to the same but I still want something nicer. There seem to be a couple nice android versions around here that people have used. That may be the way to go. I also checked the service records with the local dealer and it had good maintenance. |

You must be outside of Watkins Glen somewhere in that frozen wasteland...
