We are debating between 2026 x5 40i vs 2027 x7 40i. We have a 7 month old right now and will likely have another kid in the next 2 years.
We both prefer the drive and look of the x5 however the second row seems a little tight. I would not be able to fit a rear facing car seat behind me if I was driving comfortably.
The x7 has drastically more second row leg room and trunk space. We likely would only use the 3rd row a few times a year for road trips and when family flies in so would mostly be down.

Also wife would be driving this mostly with the kids on a daily. I’d drive it on the weekends when we go out as a family or road trips.

Wife’s concerned about driving the x7 given its larger size and it seems DHP isn’t currently available on the 40i.

Wife’s concerns are driving the x7 given its larger size and I guess the looks, which is subjective.
