Thanks for the replies. I understand what BMW are trying to do with this car but only having 4 seats will definetly reduce its appeal to many. Are you listening BMW!

They almost got it right. Having the ability for my wife to lug two kids with two friends would be ideal in a coupe cross over. I already have an X5 (great car) along with my E90 325i, but the X5 does not satisfy my urges as an enthusiast with real world practicalities.
My leases are coming up in the next 18mths so I may look elsewhere in the range. Maybe a 135i (for me) and an X3 (for the wife) would fit in the budget nicely, but so would an X6 and a 1 series.
