towing question

i recently sold my rollback truck and i'm contemplating the purchase of a car trailer. my question is this: what do you guys recommend for a tow vehicle?
trailer will be you average car trailer, 16-18' and weigh 1700-1850 lbs unladen. i generally tow mercedes (go figure) cars and the occasional volvo, subaru, toyota.....

i had a buddy who used to tow an 18' trailer with a bmw e30 and never had an issue(but he was a lucky bastage!).

since i have plenty of cars i've been thinking whether or not this might be ok. for example my w124 300e is bigger than the e30 but i don't see too many people towing cars with them!
alternatively, i have a gmc full size van that could be outfitted w/ a class III hitch or i could buy a pick up truck, etc.

thanks in advance for any input and merry Christmas!
