Someone PLEASE explain this to me. X3 content

[dreamchasin]

I am looking through cars on dealers sites, and I saw this car in person. I looked inside and saw 6speed...wtf, since when were x3's 6speeds. I don't know anything about X3's so I called a buddy and he said it was probably semi auto..but as I am talking to him I see the clutch on the floor. Website says auto, pictures say 6speed. Explain this to me..

Early X5 3.0 models came with a 5 speed, X3 sport models come in 6 speed... surprise!!

This.

I'd prefer an X3 manual over an X5 manual. The X3's feel so much better. The weight of the X5 with the 3.0...no good.

E83 can be ordered w manual. F25 cannot.

I don't have any complaints about my '03 X5 with the 3.0i. It's faster than my '89 ix by a long shot.

My dad has the 4.4i x5, only thing i have to say is wow. It will eat my m20 and the 944. I think its pretty even with our old e92 328xi

6sp X3s are awesome to drive. It's like.......a truck, but with a car inside. Love em.
