The '07 328i is a lots of fun to drive, has a pleasant ride your family will love, has more than adequate power, and offers phenomenal value. My 77 yr old father comes back grinning every time he drives his 328xi wagon. To me his would be perfect if it had a stick.
My brother bought an '06 330xi (~$25k, well optioned, 30k mi) last October after selling me his '02 S. He really enjoys it, but still misses the box a bit, and his wife, a long time Civic driver who "doesn't care about cars," is absolutely gaga over it. She now wants a 3 series wagon.
I couldn't feel much difference in power between the 330 and 328, so I'd go for the 328 to save a few bucks.

I don't know if I want another volvo..
I have an S70 T5. it hauls a$$. mine is the high pressure turbo version, and it has a cat back exhaust on it. it's probably pushing 250-260hp and it is only about 3200-3300lbs... lots of torque... and lots of torque steer.. 
I used to have a volvo s60R that was majorly modded and ran with E46 M3s in drags and on a track. sold that car b/c it had too many maintenance issues.

So...let me see if I got this...you already have 2 "toys", your wife has an SUV, and you're going to buy yourself another "toy"? So that's 3 toys for you and none for your wife? Hardly seems fair...

Now that "We the People" own GM, just put in for a company car. Just avoid Pontiacs and Saturns. Maybe the new Caddy station wagon.

If you're thinking long-term, you've already hit the nail on the head with Acura. (Lexus would be good too, but it looks like you'd be in the ES350 range, which is ugly -seeing as how an IS is too small.)
It's funny, my (twin) brother has a TL Type-S and I have a 330i. I feel like I ride high up in a TL. The BMW feels lower and is obviously much more sporty.
What about an 02-03ish M5?
