2006 X5 4.4, 101k mi; Sell or Keep?

I have a 2006 X5 w/ the sport package, 19" wheels. 101k miles. I enjoy driving it, it works for me and my family and I still think its a good looking vehicle. I think it ages well.

I have a bug to get a 4dr full size pickup truck as it would be more convenient for my home projects and I'm in that "I want something different" mode. I know not a great reason.

X5 problems:
- Cluster overall mileage light going out
- small rub mark on front bumper (paint only)
- normal road rash on front bumper for 100k mi vehicle

X5 good:
- interior is in good condition (other than cluster)
- new tires
- new brakes / rotors / sensors
- mileage for model year
- still drives smooth

Concerns:
- haven't had the valley pan leak
- wife says transmission jerks a little when she drives, I haven't had any issues.

The practical side of me says, keep it, its only worth ~$12k and its in overall good condition and works. Buy something when you need it. The other side of me, sell it.

Your thoughts?
