Nice 6sp 530XiT in case someone is looking:
2006 BMW 530xi in Weymouth, Used BMW 530xi for sale in Weymouth | Boston & Quincy area Used BMW 530xi for sale at 777 Auto LLC
Sadly, manual is no go for me.

Automatic, as wife can't drive manual, though I did come across a couple of manuals in my search, they are not as hard to come by as many make to look like.

Yeah... they're out there. I continue to find them.
But the option choices and configuration choices are not as vast as auto wagons, or sedans especially.
When I really want to drool about options, I just search for sedans. "Oh, look, another fully-optioned manual trans E60 550i with super low miles and full M-Sport package."
Find one of those in an E61 and I WILL TAKE IT!

I don't know man, N63 is a horrific engine longevity-wise, so unless you feel like changing timing chains, valve guides, valve seals etc every 100k mi, I'm sticking with tried and true N54. 300hp is more than enough for my daily use.

I'd sooner try and squeeze S85 in an E61 and make it RWD. Probably more cost-effective in a long run vs "engine out" N63 refresh every 100k mi.
