Hello,
It's been two great and eventful years but my 535d M Sport is about to go.
We're expecting the arrival of child no. 4 in the next week or so and I have a new job in central London. There's no room for the fourth, even though I have offered to air condition the boot!

I'm handing th car back to the dealers* (sob!), picking up my MPV next week (sob!) and hopefully going for a Cayman S or an M3 or something smaller towards the end of the year (woohoo!).

This is a fantastic forum and have made some great contacts, friends and great advice.
Take care and in the words of the late Irish comedian Dave Allen...May your God go with you.

best regards
Irfan Ahmed

Goodbye. I commend you for having your priorities straight. My biggest regret in life is that Cheryl and I didn't have more than two children. I wish you the best.

Hi
We chose not to found out. It's not such an issue deciding what colour the nursery should be.
Thanks envoy for asking.

Sorry to hear you have to give up the e60...FYI, I have 4 kids too and I find it a very rare occasion when I have it completely full but it does fit 3 in the back (2 in car seats and 1 in between) the other rides in the front, no room for wife though but if she doesn't need to come when I drop off and or pick up the kids from school/day care on my way to and back from work. What does your spouse drive? Maybe they need the new car! Good luck.

Congrats to your growing family! I just have to say that even when I was a kid, I knew I would have only two kids, an even number...so that I could always drive a car that would seat 4 max, and so that we would never have an odd number taking a ride on a roller coaster! Anyway, good luck to you and visit once in while!
