WTB E53 5 or 6 spd
 

New member here. I am currently looking for an E53 in 5 or 6 speed manual. Winter package (heated seats) is a must. Preferably post 2001 (so that it has the updated X drive system).

Let me know if anyone is interested in selling one.

I am in Wi but willing to travel to MN, IL, IA, MI etc

Oh my word!
This is such an awesome example, but sadly far out of my budget. I should have mentioned it earlier, my lowly budget is not more than $5000, perhaps $6000.

I understand that won't be enough to buy the best ones out there, but hopefully I can still fine a decent example.
I am not averse to the idea of taking care of the most common issues myself, so if some one has one that isn't in the best shape mechanically, I would still be interested

Goodluck :thumbup:

New member here with one more for the list: my 3.0d 2005 manual 6 speed 140k. New clutch and dual fly mass at about 130k - drives like a dream now but currently trying to solve battery drain. After that's solved l fit new jl audio amp and speakers, 9" android unit and some wrap for the interior!

Nice, wish we had those here in the states.

Hey everyone, I'm the owner of a 2004 6mt. Have been driving the car for a while now, and these really are great cars. It's a shame you can't get a proper gearbox in any newer cars.

Been lurking here for years, but thought I'd finally say hi.

I am daily driving my 220k mile E53 5mt

You find a car??
