advice needed, maintain or sell or put in storage?

My one and only car is a 2015 M235 purchased new in August 2014.

At the time of purchase I lived in a house. Now I live in a condo with a reserved exposed parking space.

I service at dealer; 1) loaner, 2) the warranty of the repair, and some other reasons.

In the past few years out of warranty I've had the following repairs:

1) trunk lock mechanism fail.

2) pair of thrust arm bushings replaceed

3) oil filter housing gasket

4) oil pan gasket March 2021

5) now car is in shop for valve cover assembly.

6) had auxiliary radiator hose blow which I took care of myself.

Along with regular maintenance, one+ or this year four thousand dollar repair bill is getting to be the norm.

I thought about storing car at an exotic car facility for about $3000/year ? But not sure there is any good reason for doing that.

Keep the car and continue servicing ? Car is great looking and drives incredible.

Or sell car ? Not sure what to buy...probably just a new under warranty daily driver with good mileage (Toyotas Venza. Tesla Model 3. Mazda hatchback) good in the snow in comparison to my car.

Any opinion would be appreciated
