we only have 2 kids. Our only need for hauling kids is carpool which is 4 kids + 1 driver. So far the X5 has worked perfectly for that.

In many ways I would rather avoid having a 6-7 seat vehicle. Because then it ends up that we become the bus carting everybody else's kids around to functions and events. I would prefer NOT to do that for the most part. 1 or 2 extra is fine. Anyway - sticking with a 5 seater is in many ways a good call for me the more I think about it!!

Plus, I really like to have a proper sedan or sport wagon in the stable.
