OP, read what I'm about to write VERY carefully. I am writing with experience. I owned a E90 M3 (V8 M3) before I got married.

When my wife was due, I was in the same situation. Needed a bigger car, but what do I do? My answer for you is this:

1. DO NOT sell your C63. DO NOT. It will be your fun car. Your family car will suck ass compared to the C63, short of buying a X5M. Every day when I drive my M3 to work, I have a shit eating grin on my face when i show up at work, bc on the weekends and on trips, I MUST take the X5.

2. if you need to save money buy a preowned 2014 X5. If you want to go into poverty spec mode, go with a 50k miles 2013 E70 X5 35i for $22k. I shit you not, bc that's how fast depreciation is going to ream you anally with a new X5.

I kept my M3, and bought a preowned, CPO, '12 X5d. Sure I could have sold my M3 and gone with a $60k 2015 X5, but I would have eaten $25k in depreciation and driven a shitty fake tinsel of high performance car in the X5 (compared to my M3).

Don't get me wrong, my X5 or the F15 X5 is a fantastic car for what it is designed for, a sporty large cruiser. But it is not a performance car. Not even close.
