IMHO, you should keep a car no matter how many miles it has been driven as long as it satisfies your needs, you really enjoy driving it and it doesn’t have too many expensive maintenance issues. 👍🏻
I owned a 1994 325i convertible for 7 years, it had 44,000 miles and was trouble free. The used car manager at the dealer where I traded it in told me he was buying it for his wife. 😉
I owned a 2001 CLK430 cabriolet for 3 years and didn’t love driving it so it was time for a change. 👎🏻
I replaced it with a 2004 CLK500 cabriolet which wasn’t vastly superior exact it’s new body style didn’t suffer from the blind spots that the CLK430 had. I absolutely loved driving it and kept the car for 17 years. It only had 37,000 miles when I sold it and the only major issue I ever had were the hydraulic rods for the soft top that leaked and had to be replaced. 👍🏻
I sold the CLK500 when I fell in love with the G29 body and purchased a 2022 M40i which has been a dream and I can see myself driving it for many years. Especially because the B58 engine and ZF8 transmission are a perfect combination and most importantly it is a very sexy roadster which is a blast to drive. 😎

I can only legitimately have one response and that is good for you... lol your choice your cars. We live in a far more consumerist society these days - for good or bad depending on how you look at it... where holding old things doesnt pay off as much as it used to, due to service costs and lower longetivity of items.
