Can you live without a truck? Get rid of the Denali and keep the 2 BMWs. If your wife hauls the kids around more than you do, then make the 5 the "family car" and drive the 335 to work.

At least you can get the last laugh by damaging the cars right before you turn them in! Oh wait, I seem to recall a thread in which that wasn't such a good idea!

Real Estate is horrible! My house is gonna cost me $205,000. But, thank God for people with connections! Im going to be getting the house for $145,000!!!
5 Bedrooms / 3.5 baths / 2 car garage!!! YEAAAH!

Nice Denali XL, is that color blue green crystal? I have the same one, an 05 which has been more reliable than my 545. What state is the new house in? In NJ that house is $850,000 to $1,000,000.
Get rid of the 3 series, very nice looking car but your child will need the extra leg room in the back seat that the 5er provides.
Good Luck.
