One time my teen age daughter tripped on the seat belt getting out of the M3 and she would have done a nasty face-plant had I not caught her. Two doors are fine for two people, and coupes look nice, but give me four doors every time...well at least until my son goes to college and I get that beautiful F Type V8 coupe!

Haha. I'm with you on all points

Congrats! Plenty of us with kids here. I only have the base extended leather which means my seat backs are plastic which is a blessing (less damage and easier to clean). I'd recommend investing in a car seat protector (we have the Britax one for ~$20), and thanks to Stealth Pilot on here I'd also highly recommend Leather Masters product (regular which is matte and not glossy)... Works and smells great! I may end up buying seat back protectors anyway as their little feet are always there!

Here's a quick pic of the seat protector I pulled off the web

Congrats! Great looking car. The light interior is gorgeous and thought about it myself, but wearing denim and especially with 3 kids, can easily stain the leather.
