dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted October 28, 2017 So some of you probably saw this rather rare manual X5 pop up on TM for approximately 20 seconds this week. I saw it and well... had to buy it straight away. Flew up to Auckland Saturday morning and drove it back to Hastings the very long way. It's fairly tidy. Is a sport package model too with decent history. It does have an aftermarket head unit which I shall be asking members on options to improve that What a stunning machine with the manual! 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted October 29, 2017 My boss has one in the same colour as yours, but not sportpac, with three pedals. Done huge km and has been a great beast (tows a three axle trailer up and down both islands. Far better than an auto one. Very economical too, averaged 7.3/100 on the way home Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted October 29, 2017 Clutch, flywheel and turbo just done. The boss' one is around 460km on it I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treone 648 Report post Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) So cool! X5's are awesome and I'm guessing awesomer with three pedals! Makes me wish I still had my old manual 2.5l petrol X3... Edited October 29, 2017 by treone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
