You made the right decision. The minivan is plenty practical.

Let us know how you feel about this decision tomorrow afternoon, I suspect that will remove all doubts :smile:

you need fun in your life, great decision, you cant tool around in a minivan and not think to yourself "there is more out there and i need to take advantage of it and have at least one nice car to get away for alittle bit" that is the 135i...kids screaming at eachother, wife screaming at the kids, mother in law screaming at the dog, dog running around in circles not knowing whats its going to do...thats when its time to quietly walk into the garage get your keys and go out for a ride, instantly you feel warmed up inside, adrenaline pumping through your veins, sound of the engine to your ears, masks out everything for those brief minutes before you are sucked back into reality...and you were asking if it was a good decision?

I had a manual 328 sedan (along with what seemed like everyone else in my neighborhood) and decided on the 1.

the manual was fun to drive, but lets face it, it's still a sedan.

Go with the 1 series and you won't be dissapointed I'm sure...

30...22 month old daughter...wife is 14 weeks pregnant...right decision. We have a couple other cars to haul around kids in. And yet, my daughter won't go to bed at night until she has had a ride in the 1er. Her new favorite words? Bye, bye...now please The 1er is good for the whole family!

My wife has the seven passenger Honda Pilot for hauling kids and friends around and now we have something fun to drive when it is just us and one or two kids. You will enjoy the ride!!!!!!

I have been so impressed with the room in the back seat, the fold-down back seats, it's great. So my wife has to get in and out to let my 11 year old in the back ... hasn't bothered me so far

I had the same thinking, 2 kids, wife, we have a Saturn Outlook (seats 8). I had a Passat sedan and wanted a fun driving car, not a another family car. My wife was worried about the back seats and access but since I got my 1, no one has complained although we realize would never go on any big trips with people in the backseat as it's a harsher suspension feeling back there...

Get a driver's car, you wont regret it!
