330i gearing question?

[Adom]

I've looked at a couple of these and note that they went to 6-speeders in early 2003. Really would like the six speed car but there aren't many around at the right price so looking at slightly earlier 5-speed cars. Can anyone tell me the gearing in top for both? and has anyone driven both and can advise whether it is worth holding out for a 6?

Thanks in advance,
Adam

The 5 speeder is 25.4 mph/1000rpm in top but I still can't find out what the 6 speed does. Seems that none of the mags have tested the later car - maybe a call to the dealer is required.
