Where there 6sp manual Tourings sold in US?

I'am starting to think on my post E39 life and a E60 Touring with manual gearbox and the right spec. (never avail in Europe) feels very appealing to me - time to start looking :).

No, M5 tourings are not available in the US

No E60 M5 tourings in USA, but you can find some nicely specced 535i tourings with 6sp and M-Sport packages. Just have to be patient.

True, but the E61 wagons were only available with xdrive in the US (535xi or 535 x-drive) and the MSport packages were primarily cosmetic (no stiffer shocks/struts/springs/rollbars). So, not equivalent to a E60 535i MSport and certainly no where near as much fun as a E60 M5.

My wife's car is a 2010 MSport E61 and it is fun to drive, but nowhere near as much fun as an E60 M5. A lot less feedback as well.

As everyone said, there are no E61 M5's with a 6MT.

The 6MT is exclusive to North America, while the Touring is Exclusive to Europe, which prevented a hybrid of the two.

Unless somebody with a good bit of money buys a touring here and does a swap....I am sure it can be done.:wroom:
