I still have a MY2004 X3 with a Feb2004 build date, I picked it up in Munich ED before the X3's were available in the US. I have had 2 other X3s a 2006 ED and a 2008 ED. I still have the 2006, both the 04 and 06 have the 5 speed transmission and are great cars. As for the 2008, gone but not forgotten. I will only get a new X3 if it has the ZF box which I have in my 335IX, so I might be forced to wait for the higher powered version. I also have experienced the content creep of X3's where my 2008 was less expensive with much more equipment than the 2004. Same thing happend to me with the first MY V8 ML, subsequent MY's had more equipment standard for the same price.
