x5 for the family..

Hi All,
first of all i'm proud to say that my wife is pregnant with our first child.
now of course the fun of looking for a family car begins.
So far i have two cars in mind, one would be an '07-'08 X5 with the 4.8 engine, or a 5-series, non touring.
It's going to be her car, she is 5' 2", so my first thing is that the X5 might be a little high for her to put in the kids seat etc.
Next time around we'll take the child seat to a dealer and see how it fits in both cars, but in the meantime i'd love to hear you opinions.
Anyone with kids please advise on advantages or drawback of the X5 if there's any.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tamas

I do not have kids but I can assure you that the X5 is an awesome piece of machinery. But why the 4.8i in particular? The 3.0i should be good enough.

Cheers.

You're absolutely right, the 3.0 would be enough. i just checked the specs on both.
