I ask b/c i've been looking for a winter beater/SUV that i can tow a jet ski with ... AND in a stick AND < $10k.

I didn't even realize it, but you can get e53s in a standard. I saw one for $3500 w/ 130k on it .. the m54 motor.

The only two BMW options are this and the e83 x3 (which seems to have lots of problems)

So .. should i stay away from the e53 .. or could it be a solid purchase?
