Your sister is horribly flat and unsupportive.

Wheels are gonna stay as-is for now. I'd like black wheels, but nice wheels and parallel parking do not mesh well. Maybe when these get torn up, I'll replace them with something fancy and some sort of purchased protection.

That's going to be a comfortable family hauler and looks to have decent enough ground clearance to get to most places you will probably be camping in. I am curious to hear your thoughts of ownership after the baby comes and you all do some traveling with it; I've found we've been tight on space in the RDX with just us two traveling to like the beach and we don't really pack a lot of stuff beyond coolers, food, luggage, etc.. I'm sure we can make it work whever we decide to have kids if you guys can make a wagon work.

Edit: Just noticed, no roof rails? Do you guys think you'll be good on cargo space with that trunk?

So far we've camped in our Clubman with the seats down, so I'm not too worried about ground clearance or space. Our "off roads" are pretty well maintained... and somehow our city streets are kinda terrible. I actually think the Clubman is too stiff for city driving, so this should work out decently for joint duty.

We took an infant car seat and stroller shopping with us. We found the All Road and 328 were the only non-massive SUVs that could even remotely fit an infant seat with the driver seat in a respectable place. The car dealer, who was probably 6'2", sat behind me with no problems and I sit pretty far back. The dealer for our 328d test drive was 6'0' 300# (he actually said this) and he sat behind me no problem too.

The trunk is bigger than the pictures make it seem - I think the black is misleading. There's plenty of room for a stroller and a few bags. I put a chair in the trunk for relativity. I also added a few others that I think show just how big it really is.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
