Why would your wife sit in the back with three kids? Why wouldn't she just sit in the passenger seat?

Seriously, just go and test an F30 with the whole family in tow. The F80 M3 will have identical back seat room. The bigger question is, how long are you going to keep it and how big are your kids going to get in that time? Are they small enough now to need child/booster seats? You might be able to fit one kid in a child/booster seat, but if you have two kids in child/booster seats the oldest one won't want to sit in the middle between the other two kids because there probably won't be enough room.

If you really want an M and room for five, get the M5!
