Advice on keeping or selling my '10 E63 after warranty

Hi folks, I'd love some input here. I have a 2010 E63 with 108k miles. It's had some minor issues lately, some of which are hard for the shop to resolve, but none stopping the car from running well. The car is just out of the extended warranty.

While I love the car, it's been having more issues lately, and I'm concerned that if something big goes, it's going to be time-consuming and expensive to fix.

Any advice on selling it for something newer with a warranty? Am I being overly worried, or is this a good time to buy something newer?

if you can afford to buy something new, i would dump it as its only going to keep cropping up issues and each time you will regret keeping it.

if you can emotionally commit yourself to this car for three more years and are ok with divorcing yourself from $3000-7000, perhaps you can keep it; the best case is that no more issues occur - unlikely; the worse case is something huge occurs and you will have to fix it to preserve the value in order to sell it -- still a loss

keep it simple - sell it and get something newer

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Your car likely has the headbolts issue. The issue is a bomb. It might never go off. But if it does, you are going to eat it big time.
