Which of these seven-seaters do you recommend?

Looking to buy either new Land Rover Discovery sport SE Tech or BMW X5 3.0TD xDrive30d M Sport. I have 3 small kids and will need space for other kids so have narrowed down choices to these two seven-seaters. Both are similar price (looking at second hand 2013 BMW) and can't decide which one. Any thoughts?

The Discovery Sport is stuck with the old Ford 2.2 engine until the summer. Doesn't get the new 2.0 litre JLR Ingenium engine until then. So as long as all the kids can get into the BMW, get the X5.
