Nice bikes...Florida has some great & scenic tarmac for riding, imo.

Hot R1!
I've ridden one, though never got it leaned over near its limit...
makes my '87 Hurricane 1k look like Gramps bike. Guess it is.
Nice Sled.

There are only a handful of us here with the 5 spd.

You will find the highway cruising rpms to be considerable,
but the trans is fun, imo.

PS: nice sled, too!

I have a 2006 with a 6SPD, I special order my when I was stationed in Germany, I have sport, primium, dvd, nav, xenon, and towing pakage, I was going to trade it for an M3, but I think i will keep it and get the M3 next year

It wouldnt hurt the 3.0 to have 6 speed, but it would be much slower and crusing at 80mph i do about 21mpg and if i have to pass someone pulls hard enough.

I really like your set up, but then again thats big money i only paid 9k for mine. But down the road Ill upgrade to a newer one.

I owned e36 M3 and e46 m3 almost went back to it but then this x5 popped up i couldnt say no to manual and price.

Congratulation!
 
I was in the same boat as you last fall. I found an '03 Black on Tan 5 speed in very good condition for about the same money. I wound up putting a clutch in it, but I love the truck. Mine has the tow package and it really does pull a trailer very well. I was coming out of a '08 4 door wrangler, and this is a much nicer truck.

congrats.:thumbup:
