Has anyone moved from an M4 due to kids?

Went from F83 to f80 zcp.

I moved into an M4 so I wouldn't have to cart my kids around, isn't that what a wife is for

If it's a family outing, we take the F-150.

I have a three year-old and have no problems in the M4, in fact she want to ride in it more than the wife's 340 "cause it's fast!"

lol! My 2 girls 3 and 4 says the same thing of the M4! Whenever given the choice of the X5 or the M4, they pick "the fast car!".

I do about 90% of the driving in my M3 solo. Even then i still bought it in case that 10% is required for picking up the family or taxiing them around.

Maybe keep your M4 for a bit longer (Financially smarter this way) then trade it in for something new with 4 doors :P

It's only for the next decade or two, get yourself a porsche after =)

holy cow. we have 2 boys so far and wife wants a girl so she wants to try for another baby. I'm afraid this will happen. is that why you have 4 kids also? or you just wanted 4 kids no matter what the sex?

wow. big ups to you man.

I had the E92M when my daughter was one, and it was a secondary car for me. As soon as we found out that we were expecting my son, I moved to 4-door BMWs and have not looked back.

Now that they're 3 & 5, they can get in the backseat and buckle up with virtually no assistance. Not sure I'd have that same ease with a coupe.

Besides, if I thought I could manage with just 2-doors, I'd probably be tempted by a 350GT

Just to update, ended up moving to an m3

I drove my kids around in this. They're in college now. You'll be fine with the coupe
