Did you consider anything else...other manufacuters?

However if you want practical it comes as an estate (sorry Touring)

Congratulations!
However . . . is it likely that littl'un will be a regular passenger? If so, you might want to experiment with getting access to the rear seat - it can be really awkward lifting a child into the rear of a two-door car. I'd guess the boot is big enough for a buggy, though!

that is why I am getting the M3 rather than the 2 door.
