For some people these "good at everything" cars is better than your average minivan, jap suv which are good at nothing.

When I had my first kid I had a F10 550. When my second arrived I went into a X5M. Now that they are older (7 and 4) I went back into a smaller M3. It works fine for us BUT my wife likes the added safety of being in a larger, higher riding suv plus she misses the interior space. We're also an active family so we need to be able to get up to the mtns for snow sports during the winter. Again my M3 is fine for this (equipped with snow tires) but i'll have to admit having my old X5M during the winter just made everything easier. Those would kids would understand. Sometimes as a father you just have to "sacrifice" and make compromises to make everyone happy.
