Nef-
I can't believe I'm defending a BMW MPV but I think that's an easy thing to say if you don't fit this profile.
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.
Which makes up a bigger % of the UK population than you might think.

I assumed that before, but after two of my SIL owned them, they had very good reasons.

BMW is the only non van based premium manufacturer in the MPV line up.
