BMW E53 X5 3.0D MANUAL VS AUTO

[iceman385]

Hi looking for a family 4x4 always liked the x5 and am thinking of getting a 3.0d and trying to find a good low mileage manual facelift any one on here had/own/experience of one, they seem like a bit of a weapon 0-60 8.0 and 135 top end plus 30+mpg pretty impressive for 2 ton truck.

Any info would be great.
