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

water pump might be on the way too....
I learned that these cars after 50k you start having all these OFHG leaks, oil pan leak, valve cover leak...
I would probably go with Model 3.... it's stupid quick and no more oil leaks
and the tech is really good... let alone auto pilot, summon, etc
I wish they made like an M version of the Model 3 and I'm not talking about the Model 3 perf but something that has wider fenders and feels more special.... I know the Roadster is coming but it's 200k
With the whole virus thing I barely drive my car maybe 2-3 times a month as we have a Subaru outback for grocery/kids getter and with offices closed probably till end of the year the bmw will not see much driving....
If I could just chose anything, i would keep the m235 as track car and get a Model 3 for everyday
