Same boat as you OP. Family of 4 with a M/L dog. I have an E30 and I always drive my F10 instead.
Question: is this just a for fun car or your only car?
Agree with comments on the E30. As fun as they are I wouldn't use it as a family car on the daily. Only way I'd consider it is if it was only an in town car, and I had something larger for family trips.
If you want something old have you considered an E34? Especially if you can find a wagon. I owned two E34's and have a love/hate relationship with them. Love their looks and I really loved the sound of my '95 540i 6-speed. But I absolutely hate their sloppy steering boxes and always under damped suspension (yes, I did have refreshed stock as well as aftermarket setups). If I were buying a "classic" 5'er, I would go with an E39 as their steering and suspension is much more modern.
Or... as mentioned above, for likely as much interior space as an E34 wagon, E91 wagon. It's really a shame we don't get modern 5-series wagons.
