Re: 2002 530i manual pricing

No. The manuals are cheaper. Most potential 5 series drivers in the US (Florida included) prefer the automatic transmissions. Supply and demand drive the price up on those models. Also, the initial cost of the auto was higher. This is all good for folks (like us) who would prefer a manual.

Good if you buy new and sell used. Not good if you're looking to buy a used one (like me). :)

Cheers,
