Thank you, I love it too. I'm starting to play with it now. It's fun to drive. Have I mentioned how much I love the exhaust note

I'm also on the same boat wanting to learn how to drive a manual with no manual cars to play around with. The fact that we just bought a new X5 doesn't help with me trying to get one. I'll probably learn on a manual at a driving school, but drive around in all our automatic BMW's until I get a job that pays enough to buy my own car.

Anyway, glad you figured out how to paddle shift!

go to carmax. You'd be suprised when I was looking for cars how many sales people recount stories where the client had no fookin' clue how it works.

Can you please post a clip of exhaust note for the benefit of other members. You can record with your iphone.

That's a much better idea. Or should I say:

I do love a manual drive, if I go back to a performance/sports car it will be difficult to choose between auto and manual.

The X5 M is the only one that gets the paddle shifters in the X5 range !! :-)
