The E65 generation BMW 7-series was the first generation of BMW's plus sized luxury car to NOT be available with a manual gearbox anywhere in the world. It was unfortunate to see the manual shifter go, but the number of well heeled buyers who wanted to shift their own was very limited, so if you want to drive an E65, at least get the long wheelbase E66 version. Find this 2003 BMW 745iL E66 here on eBay offered for $3,999 buy-it-now or make-offer located in Clearwater, FL.
