View Full Version : 3.0 Manual seal 11-10-2002, 04:56 PM Has anyone driven a X5 3.0 manual with the sport package? I am curious about their performance as well as their fun factor. Does have a more sporty feel to it? I may have to get an SUV and this is one of the few that comes with a manual transmission. Thanks! Edit - Corrected my poor spelling. Damn that was bad!:eek: jblack 11-10-2002, 05:10 PM Who is Manuel? FiKtIOn 11-10-2002, 05:49 PM ^^ Haha I used to have a mexican friend named manuel.. I believe you are referring to "manual" And no, i havent ever driven one.. jblack 11-10-2002, 07:05 PM Just having fun... The 3.0 is more performance than most other SUV's out there. Well balanced and fun to drive. Just never drive a 4.4, or, for god sake, a 4.6. Those are fun. I've never had the pleasure of the 4.6, but I hear it's a beast! If you want to feel good about a 3.0...test a base Mercedes SUV.....not a good one! Matt M. 11-10-2002, 07:20 PM Originally posted by jblack Who is Manuel?

The shifter felt almost exactly like my 330, but of course the seating position was different. OT: Would the added weight of the X5 make it hard to put the blower that Dave has on there? Would that work? It has the same engine. I think that would be awesome:dunno |
