Should I sell my F22 M235i Coupe and get a Wrangler?

Now own a 2015 235 frm new. 43K miles.

Playing with the idea of trading in 235 and purchasing new 2-door base wrangler (A/C, hardtop, 4cyl automatic)

May be moving into a condo with only outdoor parking. ) where I live with fall & spring rains, winter road salt, poor quality road ways - maybe a Jeep as my one vehicle would simplify things.


My 235 is always fun to drive, hand detail so it’s always spotless.
I use dealer for service - like getting a loaner - my maintenance fees are increasing; oil filter housing gasket, trunk latch malfunction, occasional nail in tire, brakes.


235 is my favorite car but I’m thinking at a condo it will start to get ratty.
And I feel my days of brake rotor change out, fluid change and other diy maintenance are in the past.
Another thing is I’m NOT finding myself getting up at 4:30 on Sunday mornings and going out in the hills and valleys to play.

Any comments would be appreciated. Will used m235 pricing stabilize? Should I just drive the 235 till it needs to be replaced ? Should I just keep the 235 and whatever happens happens ?
