If you're comfortable with paying for the repairs and maintenance of the BMW, then that would be the obvious choice as far as I'm concerned. I don't care much for wagons because 1) the cargo area is part of the cabin, so luggage/groceries/etc become 70 MPH projectiles in an accident, and 2) I don't feel that they add much (if any) more real, usable room to the car.

And if that weren't enough, the BMW is going to be way more rewarding to drive. Not that I need to convince you of that.
