Unless you get very lucky and find one in stock somewhere, the Christmas issue definitely kills the Allspace – they’re built in Mexico, then shipped to Germany for final “stuff” and the current delivery time from the order is as bad as 7-9 months (this is what killed it as an option for me as I want out of my current car as soon as I can).
The boot size on the BMW isn’t great compared to the Allspace but if it’ll work for you, they’re nice enough cars. I only sat in one for a minute or two as I then wrote it off of my list for the boot space so can’t really say much about the comfort level longer term, and I never drove it.
IF you’ll consider another option, the Seat Tarraco is worth a look – you get the digital dash, 7 seats, most of the same components from the Allspace, similar boot space etc. Seat don’t do anywhere near as much in the way of options as other brands so again, probably have a decent chance of finding one in stock somewhere if you’re willing to travel.
