What seven-seater?

I currently have a 2004 BMW 525D - I love driving bimmers but they dont do 7 seaters. I now need a 7 seater.

I drive 60 miles a day mostly motorway 5 days a wk - about 22,000 miles a yr. I am happy to spend up to £15k and want something economical and very reliable.

Alternatively maybe its better me getting another car and keeping the bimmer - maybe an old Prius for the motorway drive and then when we need 7 seats just take both cars out? Running 2 cars would mean 2 taxes, insurance MOTs obviously. Have been pondering XC90 Volvos or any Japanese 7 seater.

A Ford S-Max 2.0SCTI 205 or 250 or 2.2 TDCI kills all the birds with one stone.
