BMW Wagon (525iT, 528iT, etc.) With Manual Transmission



The time has come to sell the trusty two-door 325 to make way for something a bit larger for my 
growing family.  I always had it in my mind that when this time came, I'd buy a used Volvo 
station wagon because it had a lot of the qualities I wanted:  roomy and boxy, safe, reliable, 
relatively quick, and a manual transmission.  After looking around a bit, I've found that the newer 
Volvo wagons are a bit smaller than they used to be and the majority of them have automatic 
transmissions.  The few manuals I've found go very quickly.

Thus, I've turned my attention to the BMW wagon.  Quite a bit more expensive, but, again, I have 
had trouble finding a used one with a manual transmission - in fact, I've yet to see anything but 
an automatic 5-series wagon advertised for sale.  My question:  does BMW sell a 5-series wagon in 
the US with a manual transmission?
