Presumably, the MPV would have to be competitevly priced as many people in this sector are struggling to pay a mortgage and have 3+ kids, etc so they can't be paying M3 prices.

Peter
No need to sleep in the car, she forgave me when I told her it was Killians fault lol.
Also its close to mothers day, I get forgiven much quicker when an expected prezzie day is looming.
If this is a genuine BMW then its quite interesting that they are trying to get into that part of the market.
I wonder what the price will be ?
It seems very competative at that level of car, and I cant see too many chaps wanting to pay over the odds for that "wifey" size of motor, as they seem to get knocked about too much in car parks etc ( or is that just my wife ? ).

Being a good catholic I'm proud to say I've lapsed and double up just to be sure
I like kids, they remind why I don't want any

Thats true Derek, but removes the reason for thinking of one in the first place ( I didnt buy one in the end, as I wasnt happy with the rear seats).
With my three horrors if they are sitting next to each other, you get " He's leaning on me, she's touched me, she keeps resting her arm on me" etc.
I like the advert for the vauxhall where the rear seperated from the front........if only that was true.

Didn't say much about the rear end statistics. Nigel is right those things are great if you remove the rear seats and don't make use of them??

I looked at people carriers,( I have three horrors), the seat seemed the best value on the mainland, although if you dont want full size the vauxhall zafira isnt a bad drive.
What put me off in the end was the close proximity of the rear passengers to the outside of the car, not much protection in a rear end shunt, and a few of them, like the renault are plastic.

To me they look like streached versions of the two small concept cars from @ 8yrs ago, think one burnt out a couple of yrs ago. Possibly duel fuel Petrol/electric ?

Is it actually a beamer ?
Or just a badged hyundai or something similar ?
The A class merc doesnt seem to be doing them any harm, so why not a beamer ?
Just think you could have more kids, and get them in and out a lot easier lol
