Figured it could be best to just have an SUV where I can have a nearly permanent dog crate in there at all times. And still carry 4-5 people comfortably.
The M3 is also a little harsh on the ride. I'm actually fine with it, as I've driven on some type of performance / sport suspension my whole life, but my wife isn't a fan at all.

If you don’t mind the ride, X3M isn’t as bad in the back as the F80 per my wife who thinks my car is the limit of what she’ll tolerate in the back seat. Just did a road trip and it held enough luggage for a family of 4, plus extra gear with no problem. Passing power is insane. You could easily do a dog fence or crate in the back with the luggage cover retracted and there’s several trunk liner options to protect the floor. 4 adults is easily comfortable and it’s not bad for 1 adult in the back plus 2 kids for short hauls.
