Congratulations & Good Luck. I got bad news and good news for you.
Bad news first. I have 2 kids, about 20 months apart. Not going to lie... it was really, really hard to manage two small kids that close together. I swear, I was a diaper-changing machine. Financially, it was extremely difficult as well. My beloved project car at the time (1964 Mustang) was sacrificed to enable my wife to stay home for a while longer.
The good news? We're long passed the diaper stage, they are now 5 and 7 years old. I just took them to Sears Point vintage races this weekend, and they had a blast. My son (5) likes to play "Grease Monkey" in the garage on his pedal car Z4, while I wrench on the E30. He knows what "righty-tighty, lefty-loosy" means. My daughter (7) helped me wash the car on Sunday morning. Also, they are very close to each other, meaning they can keep themselves occupied for hours on a weekend afternoon, without need for nearly any adult supervision. Finally, it's kind of cool having little critters that act and look just like you and your wife (or god forbid, some of your relatives).
Finally, note that E30's are reasonably safe sports cars, suitable for kiddies. The '64 Mustang was horribly unsuitable for kids. It predated any and all safety regulations, and didn't even come equipped with front or rear seatbelts.
Congratulations, and good luck.Comment

Congrats!
My question though: you have a land yacht- the 530i. Why sell it for an SUV?Comment

Cause my wife thinks she should be rolling in a Lincoln Nav L or a Yukon Denali. The 530i was supposed to be my family car. The idea was hurry and payoff the 5 so we can buy her a real land yacht!

We're about 5 months away from baby #2. So I'm upgrading from my Mk1 Toyota MR2 (with child seat in the front) to a 4 door E30. The 4 door E30 IS the family car. How many families did you know back in the 80's have a van or SUV? Very few. Simplify man. Give your wife the 530i and keep your E30. I'm pretty sure you'll survive.

I love our minivan. Yep, I said it. It's the ultimate family hauler. People who don't like them either don't have kids...or...
