So what characteristics attract you to the M3 then?

Easy clean leather seats as his kids are prone to car sickness

(And if they aren't now, they soon will be)

Why does anyone buy a new car? Do people like loosing money hand over fist?

You've not driven one I take it, for it's not comfortable. Jesus H, a 535d isn't comfortable, an M3 is borderline dangerously painful.

Wait until you drive one on a B road with your kids in. In fact, even better, try getting those kids booster seats in the back; you end up with them almost facing each other as the seats have too much side bolstering. without doubt, the most thoroughly tulip car to own with kids, or to drive quick on country roads that haven't been surfaced for while. If you're gettign 19" wheels, you may as well get a hotline tot he chiropracter

tulip car. Very quick, perfect for a blast on good roads, and a lot of fun. But for kids? Jeez.

I agreed, a Cee'd is a much better choice

Have to agree with what others have said regarding new cars. I'm looking for a car at the meoment and only really want something that's 2 years + old. Let some other clown take the depreciation and I'll have it when he's done! Also, there is no way I'd buy anything too flash. I don't want people breaking into my house to get my keys - they don't tend to do that for a Mondeo or an Insignia. They will for a fast BMW, Audi or Merc

Buy a 2nd hand people carrier, large estate car or 4x4.

Kids don't like travelling at 155 mph or being accelerated to 62 mph in 4 seconds, they like a smooth riding car that's mostly glass, with tinted windows and window blinds and they like to look out of the window. If you can get something that has a full length sunroof, even better. They also like to take bicycles, scooters and all sorts of kak when you go out.

Unless you want to spend every weekend clearing up sick, that's my advice.

With the money you save you can save up for the university fees and deposit on their first house.
