talk me out F20 vs F34

Have had F20 for like 2 years, and now my 2nd baby is coming next month.

now considering to switch a larger car but then I am not sure if F34 is a good family car. I want a back trunk with load of space, and could fit 2 baby car seats and an adult at the back.

It would cost me quite a lot to buy a car in Macau and the parking space is real tight.

So... should I pick F34 or something else?

The F34 has great rear legroom, but 2 child seats and an adult in the back is probably asking too much. Frankly, I think it's asking too much of any BMW model.

Any vehicle that can accomodate 3 across at all comfortably is going to be wide. You can't change the laws of physics.

How about back trunk space? It should be larger than regular sedan's back trunk, isn't it?

I had a 5min look at the 3er GT when I was at the dealership 1 day, an it felt as roomy as a 5er Sedan! Not sure if you could fit 2 baby car seats and an adult at the back though.

Every review I've read says that it has more rear cargo room than the wagon (thanks to the stretched chassis).
