So you get a two-fer here. Likely the last manual, likely the last pure ICE. We can hope that the G87 retains the manual for its entire lifecycle, but that's not guaranteed.

I know it's unrelated but I have a 22 X5MC. It's just the turbo v8. The new ones get the mild hybrid. Not sure if that means anything in the X5 world in terms of value or anything. I'm interested in keeping it but sounds like those engines can have some major issues as they age.
