sorry to se ya go, this is what i did needed a new vehical 3 daughters to 5 series e34 and e60 and a ageing dodge caravan 96. purchased a xc90 great car for the driver and passengers except in the 3 row it is usable but tight and a bit narrow for my taste, drove really well though. But ultimatley needed more room settled for a 05 nissan quest gogobbs of room and great driveability comfort and power and as it stands the wife happy the kids happy so i am happy. So my stable consist of e34 90- caravan 96- e60 04 and quest 05 the ultimate in luxury sport and utility.

Well...that's it.
After 8 great months the E60 is outta here.
We already have a daughter, and getting twins end of the month.? NO way I can fit 3 child seats on the back seat in the BMW.
Looked at the X5, but the back seat is exactly the same as in the sedan.
So I'm taking a break from BMW, and I ordered a Volvo XC90.? Will be my first Volvo, and is not exactly what I want in a car, but right now I have to put my head above my heart and do what's right for the family.
Been fun here, take care, and see you all in about 6 years time.? :'(

Best of luck to you and your family. I'm so glad my wife is happy with her Town & Country minivan, also known as our "McDonald's Family Meal Mobile"! 
You're a great Dad for making the sacrifice.

Congrats on the twins, but sorry you had to let the e60 go. We just got our e60 and I can't stop looking at it. Especially because I just put new wheels on it, all the little comfort gadgets are so fun also. Hope your next vehicle is as fun and sexy too.
