What kind of stroller do you guys use?

Hello,
I do not have E90 yet, but I am planning to buy one. However, my concern is the trunk space. I have e36 m3, and it seems like E90 328i has almost the same size of the trunk space.
I was thinking to buy other brand cars, but I kept coming back to BMW... I just love BMW.
So....what kind of strollers do you guys use? I can't find that fits in the trunk. Most of folding stroller that fits in the trunk are too wide, that I can not put any other staff. Wagon would be nice, but it's really hard to find one, and I want sport, and premium package, NAV, parking sensor, which is harder to find for wagon.

Anyway, please give me advice.

2 bags and our CityMini fits in the trunk and the top still goes down.
Find a stroller that folds in half to flat, rather than one that folds into a stick.

Thanks for the reply.
I did look at cityMini...I thought it was too wide that I could not fit any other staff. It's good to know.

I have a City Select and a Bob Revolution jogger that fit in both my E90 and E92. Bob jogger I need to undo the quick release front wheel is all. City Select fits perfectly.

Kids have so much shit.
Get a Mclaren for travel when you need to pack up the trunk. If your just going for a park/nature walk or something the Bob will fit with some room left over.
But if you need room for suitcases as well as your backseat for the baby get a travel stroller that folds up nicely.

I could fit a Bob Revolution into my e90 without removing any wheels before I got my spare donut tire for the car. Now with the donut in the trunk I ned to remove one of the rear stroller wheels only, which ever one I shove deep into the trunk because it rests on the tire. The rear wheels on the bob remove very easily and it works for jogging, hiking etc..

Thank you so much for all the replies.
I will check all the strollers you guys mentioned.
I found a stroller called Juju, and it folds down really small, but it was a crap to sit a baby and move around.

How old is your child/ren? As others have said, the City Mini strollers fold down pretty small and flat. If you have an infant, pretty much all of those strollers are huge. When my son was an infant, I had a Lexus IS350 which has an even smaller trunk than my E92. We could barely fit his first stroller into the trunk period. The opening was barely big enough and we had to maneuver it in and then nothing else would fit.

We also have the City Mini. It is wide, but it's also flat so it can stack on top of suitcases for trips. I don't have any issues throwing groceries or other things in the trunk with the stroller.

Chicco Cortina fits in the trunk of E90 with very little room left between the rear seat and the stroller, you have to do smart packing with that monstrosity. On the other hand the City Mini fits very nicely in E90 trunk with room to spare.
