Anyway, if I had to choose I'd pick the wagon, but there's a reason we ditched our E61 when we did. Not being able to take three toddlers in your car kind of sucks, if you have 2 or more toddlers and they have any friends.

But it's a slushbox so it doesn't even move the needle on my "desire" meter.
Does the E wagon still have the rear jump seat? We had the third row in our E71 but dumped it in the F15 to gain a spare tire. Haven't missed it, even though we used in a handful of times when we had it.
