Rare 6-speed manual BMW X5 in beautiful condition. Very well-maintained vehicle, recently purchased (Sep 2022) from original owners, who garage-kept and dealer-maintained the car in CT. The car has since had professionally-applied fluid film rust protection for recent winters, and significant recent maintenance: new rear Bilstein dampers and OEM sport springs, new front control arms, both front window regulators and door handles replaced (common failures), new valve cover gasket, new A/C and in-dash blower motor, brake, transmission, and differential fluid flushes, etc.
Interior is in excellent condition; no accident history and clear title. Minor cosmetic flaws (shallow dents and scratches) can be seen in person, video call, or specific photos for interested buyers. Sale includes OEM staggered 20” style 168 wheels (pictured) and freshly refurbished OEM 18” Style 69 wheels (five-spoke alloy) with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires (lots of tread) are also available. Weathertech rubber floor and cargo mats + carpet floormats, cargo cover, ski pass-through bag (in rear arm rest), and Thule square-style roof crossbars included.
The E53 generation X5 is renowned for its high watermark build quality and groundbreaking driving dynamics in an SUV of the era. The manual transmission coupled with second-gen, rear-biased AWD (xDrive), the famously silky and reliable M54 straight-six engine, and a surprisingly nimble and poised chassis, all deliver a uniquely engaging and rewarding driving experience. It's been a pleasure to own, and it's ready for a new home! Open to any reasonable offers.
