E46 320d 6 speed and 5 speed, what ages?

[willmagrath]

Hey guys, probably going to get a 320d for a while as I'll have a mega commute for 18 months. The question is, when did they start on the 6 speeds?

I was told it was when the face lifted the e46 but I've seen an 04 facelift online with a 5 speed :/ confused.

Cheers
