all of them are pretty large cars. obviously the x5/5 series are going to have more room than the x3/3 series.

all of them are relatively new so maintenance isnt really an issue. and all of them have more than enough room.

its really up to whats important to you and what you can afford.

my local BMW mechanic says he will be sending his kids to college based on the work he does on X5s that come into the shop.

just buy them each an e30 and be done with ;)


i actually have no opinion on this, cant afford any of those vehicles.

but i would say just remember that this is about the time warranties begin
to expire, and maintenance begins to kick in, right?

but from your sn you have an original M3 so money may not be an issue here,

X5's all around!

3 series if it's just for two. Better mielage more fun to drive

BMWs suck for daily drivers. Buy a Honda or Toyota.

328xi. End of story.

You might consider the E46, as it's a much simpler car.

Depending on how well your wife and daughter drive in parking lots/garages should be heavily accounted for.
SUV's are more likely to get beat up because of the larger blind spots (even Ralf Schumacher managed to back an x5 into a wall in a parking garage.)

2004 325xi. cheap (kinda) and all wheel drive

[foofopps]

if you give a woman a diesel she is bound to put regular gas in it so I would count that out

2005 or early 2006 530i. The M54 is easier to work around. The Denso starters crap out at around 85k miles and you don't have to remove the intake manifold on m54s.
