The E38 is not available in the US with manual transmission. By the way, BMW's V8 cars have 6-speeds if it's a manual.

We've had lengthy discussions on the board about converting the E38 to 6-speed manual transmission. It's doable, but pricey. Brett Anderson at Koala Motorsport has some experience with this. (www.koalamotorsport.com)

I would personally love to do the conversion on my 95', but "money's too tight to mention" ;)

I've got a 87 528e automatic. I was looking to upgrade to 535i 5-speed (for more power); but then I saw a 740il and went nuts!!! By chance, are 740's (or any other 7 series models) available in a 5-speed?
