My experience is that many people start with a bigger BMW (often a Touring) to have enough place for child seats and strollers. As the kids move out, they get a smaller BMW.

I went from 3-series to 1-series because BMW keeps making the cars bigger, so the 3-series grew too big for us. I wouldn't mind having a smaller (lighter!) car than the 1-series.
