That gearshift console doesn't look like its designed to contain a manual transmission...........don't tell me they ditched it :angryfire
Did you read the press release below which talks about manual mode?

re price for E53 3.0i - that is with a manual gearbox, whereas the 3.0d is with auto box - hence the large price difference on the 3.0si.

Meh... I like the rear flare, and what on earth is up with that shifter? I think I'll have to see it in person before saying I like it or I don't like it.

The way the shifting works makes it sound like it will be fun to fix if it ever goes. I can see it now, pressing P and it not going into park. There's a company of ideas for ya :)

I like it all but the side view, which i'm sure will grow on me, on a side note is there no longer tinted windows? I LOVE the cooled seats!

It's beautiful overall. SMG-gearshift looks too much like a joystick though, dorks who still play supernintendo will love it but I hope it comes only in sports package.

Wow getting rid of my 06 X5 two weeks ago was the best car move I ever made. If I waited any longer and the new owner saw this I would have never gotten rid of it! Bravo me!

On another note this new X5 looks amazing! Thanks for the info Lemans!

It seems like navi projects onto windshield just like in M6. Very nice!

Yup. It's right behind (or in front of) the shifter.
