M Car being used properly.

I took a cheapo few days away with SWMBO and the young lad last week.
Obviously the E39 handled the task with no problems although its a shame you can't get an E39 touring, more space would have been good.
It was filled to the neck and like a s
tbox, unfortunatly I forgot to take a pic of the boot which was most impressive.
The grunt is quite handy though, when the cheesy Wotsit fuelled mayhem and destruction in the back gets too much, just floor it for a second or two and it soon turns into a Recaro muffled mumble.
It just made me think, this carry on is doing my car no good, but TBH I don't care.
If I have to take my family with me to enjoy my car then that is a price I am happy to pay.
It made me think, who else uses their M as a family car?
Enjoy the pics, must dash, I have to go and pick rice crackers out of the seat pockets.

Well I've just come back from a family holiday (two weeks in the Alps) - four of us in the car and the boot literally barely able to shut, plus a brand new unused Trek road race bike nestling in the bottom of said boot. Car loaded to the gunnels. Yes and like you, I even let them eat in the car although I couldn't bring myself to look!

To quote my daughter (6):
"Dad, please don't overtake that car, I get a funny feeling in my tummy..."
The only thing I would change is the rear seats and make them the folding variety... but having said that, there hasn't been anything that wouldn't fit in the car one way or another
Ha ha! My lad does do a kind of wide-eyed surprised look!"Dad, please don't overtake that car, I get a funny feeling in my tummy..."

Just been to Cornwall for the weekend in the e90 M3 with three mountain bikes on the roof bars.
Also done a couple of trips four up to the Alps for skiing, but my ex toddlers are now 21 and 13.
I bought some vacuum packs from Argos to pack our ski stuff in so it would all go in the boot! Had four ski helmets and one pair of boots plus all the skiing paraphenalia for a week and no need for roof box or any cr*p inside the car. A genius idea I got from a friend of the Gallactic Emperor.

Question, where do I get one of those Recaro seats from? Looks like a good fit.
I bought this two months before my Mrs found out she was pregnant with my first and her third.
So had to sell it...... well that's what she thought.
Could not stand the thought of the kids butchering my near enough un-used back seat so bought this
Although I am starting to get attached to that as well and thinking what I can do to save the leather

I think I just searched and maybe got it from ebay, definitly online anyway.Mothercare do have a couple but not the full range.
That is a Young Sport model, I don't know if that suits the age of your little one.
They are surprisingly cheap and that one will do him until he is 11-12 or something like that, you just keep adjusting it, taking out the padding etc. They are great value and good quality.
(and they look cool. which is not important at all.) ahem.

"Its no use, we need four doors!"
