I test drove a 2017 330 gt, got an offer for around 28K. I need to fit 2 child seats and don’t want to get an SUV. It’s surprisingly roomy inside. Asking for the pros here for any insights or things to be aware of before I pull the trigger. My first german car upgrading from an accord.

Do you Yanks still get the touring 3 series? The GT is just such an fugly car. Would definitely prefer a 3 series or A4 avant if you need the space over a GT.
If you don’t have access to touring, I’d still suggest test driving the X3. It drives surprisingly well and will not be worse than the GT.

2 child seats? Get a Honda Odyssey Elite. Not having the kids slam car doors into other cars in parking lots is a life changer. Plus the rear entertainment system and even built in vacuum

I (had to) drive a 5series GT for a while and it’s simply not worth it for the downside (driving experience and looks mostly). The steep back hatch is also quite awkward and doesn’t buy you as much space as you may think. Get a proper X(3 or 5) or the sedan.

I drove a 3 sedan with two small kids for 3 years and it’s just fine. Wasn’t main family hauler but no problems with two kids.

No, stop please. Go lease a X3 as God intended. The GT models are useless

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET. I had my hydrosonogram, trial embryo transfer, and an overall check of my uterus. Due to my muscle thickness, they're recommending with my next pregnancy to have another c-section. I tried Googling but can't find any info. Anyone been through this before and know what they're referring to? I just like to be as informed as I can.

Last week I had to explain to my child what “politics” (as in office politics) is. My child is going to a new high school and wants to play volleyball. There was a 3 day open “tryout” for incoming freshman for 2 teams. After the first day, she noticed that
1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.
