2003 325i, Should I keep it?

Hello All,

I'm really debating on keeping or trading in my 2003 BMW 325i (Steel Grey/Black Leather, Premium Pkg, Sport Pkg, HK Sound, Leather and Wood, Automatic)

It's original to me, I drove it off the lot on my 18th birthday back in 2003 and it now carried 79,500 miles on it with a CPO warranty until 4/09 or 100,000 mile

Now I love driving it, minus the sport seats that do tend to fatigue after time, It's really never had any problems minus software updates and regular maintenance, so I'm thrilled it's so gosh darn good to me.

Now It has a few issues:

The Rain Sensor was cracked during window replacement and needs to be fixed
I attempted to auto-adjust the Bi-Xenons, but ended up breaking somehow the interior halogens, they no longer work on both side, any ideas?


And It's Short falls:
-Lordy does this car eat TIRES! it's needed a new expensive set every year!!!

SO, the plan was to trade her in for a Mercury Milan for work, so in the mean time It's become my new work car, but it's essentially paid off, but I'm worried about how reliable it will be after the warranty is up, I can't be having a cash cow

Any Ideas?
