If you did not have a child then I would say keep the 3 and get rid of the 5, but with a child I would definately keep the 5. If you go on any trip, you will be forced to take the big SUV if you have the 3. The 5 gives you more flexibility.
Get that third, fun car down the road. Just my opinion.
Good luck with your decision.

$145k for the house, but $120k worth of cars. That's a well-balanced portfolio.
I always joked that if I were single, I would buy trailer (as in mobile home style trailer) and put a 5-car garage on the end of it.

Buildable land here is $1.5M/acre. Townhomes are $500K. Nothing sells that cheap here. Congrats on the new home and beautiful cars.
Scrap the big truck unless you need it for work. With gas pushing $4.00/gal this summer, why do you need the big pigmobile? You can always rent a SUV for the 1 or 2 times a year when you need one. This is an e60 board - would you expect us to tell you to ditch the 5er???
