I have a 2006 530Xi with a 6 speed MT, pana roof and vented seats. I bought mine used locally, though from looking at the record of owners I gathered it was a lease return, that was bounced around the Canadian dealers until sold at auction.

Another guy in my area wanted the manual transmission on his 2006 and had to order his as a 'special' from the factory and waited over 9 months.

For those who are interested in rare E61s, there is one for sale in Vancouver BC in Barbara red, beige interior with ventilated seats and manual. I just came across it and it's not my car although I'm very tempted.

It has a rebuilt title allegedly due to suspension damage.

The colour is not my cup of tea. Had a look at the ad and am wondering about the 96,000 Miles. Is this a US car?

Is there any breakdown between 530 and 535 E61s?

+1. Burgundy is an old man's colour IMO... No offence. But the biggest non starter is that it's not the N54 engine. Too bad.

What? Burgundy is awesome! Tint, matte bronze wheels and black out trim?

Wait, miles, or KMs?

I too am a fan of the old-school-swag colors on a properly modded vehicle. Ever since my college roommate built a short bed GMC Sierra: lowered on brushed Foose 22s, turbo kit, and the truck was "champagne." So sick.

I would rock Forest Green on Tan all day.

I don't know if it's a US car but the Tach shows one set of numbers so I'd assume it's KM since the US cars have both.

The fact that it has the N52 is actually better imo since it's NA, smooth, and relatively trouble free. Obviously I'd pick the N54 if it wasn't plagued with so many problems.

Also, how many non M5 E60s have you seen with Ventilated seats? That and the manual are seriously tempting.

Love the Saddle Brown interior. Just wish it didn't have the fake M5 bumper.
The rear end is not M Sport but it has M Steering wheel. I wonder how much retrofitting this car has. It's all kind of a mismatch.
