What size is the family? with a family of 6 the minivan was the best bang for the buck utility vehicle I ever bought, though the least desired. I'd have to go with the DTR, S-Type or instead of the 745iL spend around the same and look for an M5, you already have a big car in the MM, how about an '05 CTS-V now that's a car.

I think I would lean heavily toward the BMW 745 iL unless you can make the jump to the 800 series. What no Maybach on the list??? It does come with a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses. :D

They tried to get me to buy a Blackwood when I was trying to get MM. They even took $12,000 off the price and kicked in 2.5 financing!!! Its nice but.... A pick up Navigator??? Just not right. Any of the others would be Cool. :twocents:

Yea so I would be afraid of the Bmw as well. Based on my German car experiance they REALLY like to be rebiult a little at a time. Man I thought the Germans built reliable cars! It will be a long time before I stray from my Fords again!:D

Have you thought about the Linc Mark LT? But it looks like you need a new van if your at 70,000 already. My suggestion would be to get a Dodge/Crysler van, they have that new stow and go system and it is great. No need to take out any seat every again. Had a 98 windstar and it was a pain in the a$$ to take out the back seat and the middle.
