Will the civic fit your lifestyle? I can tell you from personal experience that the civic does not fit many rear facing car seats both infant and convertible.
So in cases of emergencies you will not be able to transport your kids easily.
Our neighbors tried to install their britax roundabout convertible rear facing for their soon to be here newborn (let's pray for today!) Didn't fit. We helped and were curious, so they put it in their accord and it's tight. The damn seat is huge.
So I'd weigh that into consideration.

If I sold today, I would be looking to pay cash, ~12K or so for a 2-3 yr old vehicle in about 12 mos or so. A used BMW would not fit the bill here. That would be a really USED BMW.......
I'm really leaning on keeping the 325. I bought it with 9500 miles as a CPO. The cars has been extremely solid and is covered under warranty till 07/2012 or 100K miles. I have 47K miles now and I've kept the car in basically brand new condition.
The civic will definitely not fit the need to transport children. We could not even fit a rear facing car seat in my 325i without moving my seat ALL the way forward. So, we have never transported our son in my car. We use the X3 and will continue to do so when taking him out. The 325 is the one we are considering parting with. The X3 is staying.
