I'm looking at one of these, did they make a manual with the facelifted e53? I've only seen pre facelift manuals which I'm wary of because I've heard the post FL are more reliable, better tranmission etc. Any idea of the mpg?
the thing with the headunit pixels tho.... i saw a video on YT the other day where a guy took a electric lighter zapper, you know thos piezzo zappers, and put a wire on the other end witch he then held onto the pixels while zapping, and they came back to live. Maybe you wanna try it? In my e85 all the pixels work, so i can not try it myself
x5 v8s - nothing older than 2005 about to buy a GORGEOUS manual 2004 3.0 - can't wait. To know them is to love them.
I love how redline in 1st is barely 20 mph. That's genuinely hilarious.
I say the same thing with my manual x5😂😂 I usually just take off in 2nd
It’s got the hotdog folks
Im the proud owner of the manuel shift x5 as well... Keeping it Always... Almost 120,000 miles I posted a video of it on my page if interested...
I love my X5, wish it was manual though. I need a larger tow vehicle though!
Post some e30 content! Whatever happened to boosting it?

If I ever get a tow car it will be an x5 for sure
Beautiful SUV in a stick.

I do want to try that. apparwntly it doesnt last long tho
How much did u sell it for ?
Needs an m57…

Are there any V8 manual?
Nope
Its too heavy, manual 540i was too heavy for V8 too unless you had an M5, but 2003 M5 different story.
