I had a E90 M3 sedan, 2 teenage kids and we would barely fit - forget the chairs and sports equipment. So I bought an X5 for my wife and that's what we used as a kid hauler. I kept the M3 as my daily commuter. Now my daughter has a VW Tiguan, my son a Ford F 150, and I have a F30 335i sport line arriving this month which my wife will take over when the X5 lease ends and I will get a F80 M3.
So to make a long answer short - need an X5 or something that size as a kid carrier, especially if they do sports. For a second family car, as emergency backup, an M3 works but barely and only in sedan mode (and I have only 2 kids). Once the kids can drive, then chauffeur duty is over and you can get whatever you want - Ferrari anyone?
