Save the weight and don't check the option box.

This may be the case for you, but we have used our 3rd row many times. We have smaller kids and they fit just fine back there.
Having the ability to seat 7 people is very important to us. We often have grandparents or a neice/nephew go with us places. And the smaller riders go to the back.
I hope they do offer something with more room for the 3rd row passengers in the next model so we can continue to have the X5 as an option. Because as my kids grow, that row won't be as ideal to have passengers in. And we will have to consider another brand.
