I sold my 550 6 speed M Sport that I had to have shipped in from the West Coast and regret it daily. They were hard to find 3 years ago, even harder now. Any insight? Trying to find white on black. It’s going to be a daily so M5 won’t cut it. And not overly excited about the 535i. Thanks.

Thank you but really only looking for black interior. I’m sure I’ll be waiting awhile but not in a big rush.

You are looking for a very rare unicorn, as you already know.

A little trivia from a reliable source:

There were 611 F10 550i/6 six speeds manufactured in the following 3 years:

2011: 424 cars
2012: 90 cars
2013: 97 cars

27 of these cars (most all in 2011) were sent to Canada, 584 cars went to USA.

Of those 611, 269 had the M Sport Package.

So, don't be too choosy. I plan to drive mine for another 35,000 miles until I use up my Route 66 Warranty. Insurance I fully hope I wasted money on.

Good luck.

The 550 is just a dream with the six speed, as you also know.

Wow I figured they were uncommon, but <100 cars per year!

Yes, rather crazy.

It all means that they are both absolutely impossible and incredibly easy to sell - all at the same time.

Since BMW has gotten out of the manual transmission market, my next car, after many years in a five series, will be something different.

Rather sad from my perspective, but time to move on. Nothing will ever touch the E39 from a driveability standpoint.

With increased public apathy, CAFE, NHTSA and EPA requirements and the ever increasing refinement of the auto, manuals will be harder and harder to find. Unless you're up to a serious downgrade to a FWD econobox.

That's what I desperately wanted when I was in the market early last year, but no xDrive and no N63TU :-( Can't have it all I guess.
