RE: Have you ever seen an Allroad 6-Speed...
Sadly EVERY Allroad with a 6-Speed that I've seen for sale was AT LEAST $3,000 more than the tiptronic model I just brought home today but, I did bring home an A6 2.7T 6-Speed last night so I guess I'll be allright

RE: Have you ever seen an Allroad 6-Speed...
I've had my 2001 6 speed for about 3 weeks now. I was not in the market for a car yet, but that didn't keep me from window shopping on the internet. When I spotted this one at a local dealer, I couldn't pass it up. Luckily, my wife fell in love with it, and was willing to let me have my way so she could have the (87) bimmer.
Here in the Vancouver area (Canada), it is nearly possible to find a BMW 5 series touring or Audi Allroad (my two choices) in a standard transmission. The one I bought was at least $4000 cheaper than it should have been, since the dealer was trying to unload it, everyone wanted tiptronics. (Hey I would have paid a premium, but would not have been lured in so early either)
I love the car. I find first gear a bit low, I've hit the rpm limiter a couple of times already. However, the trick is to shift quickly out of first. 2nd, 3rd 4rth are unbelievable. And having your foot directly connected to a car with such a flat and strong torque curve, without any slushing about by the tranny is phenomenal (admittedly, this comment is related to a normal automatic slushbox, I haven't really spent any time in a tip) I know I am going to get a ticket, squirting around the left lane hogs here!
