I'd say the BMW will last longer in the rain / snow / salt than the jeep by higher quality materials alone. (I can't speak of that "F" generation) but the Germans don't cheap out like some companies do.
I get that it's a special car to you, unfortunately your neighbor or whoever parks beside you may not see it the same way. Door dings and little scratches are life, and in the end a 235 isn't a special car that will appreciate in value (unless you keep it in bubble wrap somewhere and never touch it).
