Opinions - wife wants to sell the 4.6

[racingbmwm3]

I've tried to work that angle. Scooter, etc won't work with 3 kids to shuttle. And even better, it's 1.5 miles if she only takes the kids to one school, occasionally it is 3 miles if she has to drop one kid off at a different school. They'll walk or ride bikes on nice days, which only accounts for 4 months of the year around here.
We drive my Mini most places, unless we are making a Costco run, or driving further than 200 miles. The Mini is not a fun long distance cruiser like the 4.6.
I just discovered that the Leaf has heated rear seats!! I was thinking the kids would protest any vehicle that didn't have those. That whole 100 mile range thing kinda sucks though. The BMW i3 needs to hurry up and get released already...
