All of the Ms I have owned have only been used as special opps vehicles (going on a date, picking up an important client, taking a nice roadtrip, etc.)I mean what's the point of all that bhp in stop and go commuter traffic?
If you're going to be ferrying around a growing family then you probably ought to be looking at an X5. I disagree with the above posters comment that you can put more in an M5 than an X5. I too have had both and with or without the seats down the X5 has far more rear cargo space.
Just my .02.

Agree that stop and go traffic sucks for a fast car, but the great thing is that a M5 can pick up children after school and be used for running errands. It's almost like a supercar inside a fat suit. For most people, having a sports car ends when they have children, but the M5 says, "Hey, you don't have to drive SUVs or Minivans!"
I think it would be a great kid hauler. I mean, isn't that why people love the m3 and m5? They give people who want the utility provided by a sedan chassis to experience a fast and fun car to drive every day.
