I've been lazily searching for e46 wagons for the girls. I want an xiT auto for them. It seems like the perfect size for two people and a ton of stinky hockey and soccer gear, but not so big they'll want to pile a bunch of friends into it. Safe, decent dynamics, but not fast, etc.
I really like my BMW mechanic, so I feel comfortable keeping it running without having to deal with a new service place.

I'll teach them to drive stick on my car.

I've noticed recently that first gen X3s are cheap and more readily available than wagons. I like the e46 wagon a lot more though.
