Hi. Adding a WTB thread to expand on my new member introduction .

I'm looking for an E61 wagon, strongly prefer 6MT with no strong preference on engine. N52 and N54 preferred, with a slight lean to N52 to avoid any turbo maintenance. It will be used to road trip with a 60 lbs husky and possibly a few children, so I don't need a ton of power. Under 100k mileage, and open to most colors (silver, gray, black, dark blue, white in roughly that order). Roof rack crossbars is a plus, and a hitch receiver is a plus. 90% of my use will be hauling mountain bikes, so don't need cargo carriers.

If you have an exception E61 in auto, I may consider it and keep a side car for my manual fun-ness. I have a 2002 Lexus IS300 with LSD that is reasonably fun, but not very practical for road trips. Looking to pare down from two cars to one.
