To be honest, with the winter coming there have been a TON of five- to eight-year-old 525i's and 540i's going on sale in New England (autotrader, cars.com, boston.craigslist.org) ... and a surprising number of them have manual transmissions. Cheap, too, several were sub-$10K. I found many in my search for a new vehicle.
