With my BMW, a 2017 w/ 8K miles, I'm kept it past the 4 year mark as I love the car, and it's been trouble. All my maintenance is based on years rather than mileage, so brake fluid, radiator flush and other wear items (belts, etc.) are on the slate to be done. As with most BMW services, they are pricey, but so is buying (or leasing a new vehicle). My service manager is honest and doesn't force unnecessary maintenance based strictly on time intervals, but rather my vehicles condition and usage.

I vote for "Keep it". You know the car intimately and its history. If it's been trouble free, as long as you maintain it and don't abuse it, it should last you many years.
