people that just don't care anymore.
I assumed that before, but after two of my SIL owned them, they had very good reasons.
You live in suburbia or the countryside, your kids play sports so you're often sharing pick up and drop off with other parents so you need more space to put all their dirty kit and you need 6 or 7 seats in total. You don't want a 7 seater SUV or estate because the 2 extra seats take up the load space and you need both.
BMW is the only non van based premium manufacturer in the MPV line up.

That was a very late, direct response to the MPV category as well as emissions regulations (started the move towards FWD cars for them). It's a fucking awful, drab thing for people that just don't care anymore.
They're repeating the same mistakes for EVs; late to market, poor execution etc.
