Well, we have 2 <E30>'s and a 6 month old boy.  Both of the E30's are 2
doors.  I also have a beat up tercel station wagon that has a pretty bad
exhaust leak and I worry a little about gassing the baby out, so we are
stuck carting the little tyke around in the bimmers.  Lemme tell you,
it's not a comfortable situation.  We did do a weekend camping excursion
(with the baby) and it was quite the cramped ride.  Fortunately it was
only a 3 hour ride to get there.  But it was a very cramped three hours.
I'm not a very big guy either, about 5'9''.  I think before the next
trip, I'll fix the leak so I can take the wagon.  I wouldn't suggest
doing any long road trips with the family in your M3.
