Unlikely Manual: 2002 BMW X5 3.0i

The first generation (E53) BMW X5 was released in 1999 as the first SUV produced by BMW and, needless to say, the purists were upset. How could BMW spit in the faces of luxury sedan owners all over the world by producing a sport futility vehicle? Lemme tell you how. They did it with the precision and focus that BMW does in everything it creates…which means that if you want the ultimate driving machine with an upright driving position and mild off-roading capability, get an X5, and try and find a manual gearbox version.
