The Other Car - Best Family Car w / Prestige and Performance

Hi All,
I've carved out my section of the garage with a nice vintage 911.
Now its time for the rest of the family.
I need to find a family friendly car of higher performance.
We just got back from mercedes and the only thing with pump was the AMG.
Great, but too pricy for this application.
Need V6 power or greater. And sound to match.
All wheel disc brakes and I mean the 4 - 6 pin type not the tiny ones on the back of like an accord.
Manual transmission and not tiptronic. I can eat a tip in a week - so can my other half.
Looking at the BMW 5 series V8 6 speed in the $40K maximum range.
Could upgrade the brakes to a larger caliper.
Or are we getting into the, dare I say chayanne (sp?) territory?
Cheers
all input welcome and appreciated.
