a better decision is a midsize SUV with far more rear seat space such as an X3 or the ultimate X5... which it appears by sales numbers in the USA is exactly what people are doing
the only place in my mind a 5 series makes sense these days is if you want an M5 as you can't cheat higher center of gravity driving dynamics

Comes down to this for me. I have driven small sporty cars my whole life. I need a 4 door now that I have a 2 year old. I had my eyes set on an M5 or M550i. I was stunned by the tiny back seat. My wife has been bugging me about the roof clearance (pulling my son out of his car seat). The X3 M40i is where I've landed.
