I pretty much agree - could use a sixth gear - turning 3500rpm at 75mph (3K at 70).

But, I'm very happy with the manual on the 3.0i, and I do a lot of city driving as well.

FYI, the only other reasonable candidate S*V with manual was a Nissan Pathfinder SE, and it was very stripped compared to the X5 (no surprise).

In summary, I'm extremely satisfied with this vehicle, I just wish it had a sixth gear.
