Question To keep or not to keep

2008 CPO 328xi coupe 46,000 miles still has about 14-15 months of CPO and maintenance. Bunch of issues under my 17 months of ownership;

Per request... I owe nothing on the car i have the title. The KBB is like $24,900 i can get more if Pvt sale since CPO and maintenance for a while left. Not many black/black nav awd coupes by me, i think only 7 and only 1 with cpo still.

The A4's i was looking at are 2009 $23k -$25k with about 37,000-45,000 miles CPO

issues include:
-All taillights replaced 2 weeks after i got the car
- Grill had to be replaced (dealer put wrong one so had 2 dif ones)
- 2 slow leaks in the RFT's (not getting reg and doing the kit...car should have a donut not dead space in the trunk)
-DRL out
main issues*

- 2 cylinder heads and something else replaced due to engine ticking

- Passenger headlight assembly replaced

- now the issue with the rear differential ( see thread http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=701520)


Is it worth keeping and if so how long? Or am i better off selling over the summer while still under CPO use that as a sales pitch to sell pvt/trade in to get most $$.

Was looking at an 09 CPO a4... i know its Audi but i had one for 3 years and no issues plus it has more features than mine (auto dimming mirrors, bluetooth, and ipod direct instead of Aux, no nav but still has screen as its standard and i dont care for it anymore the few times i need nav i have an iphone and can get a tom tom for $250 that updates maps and traffic yearly for free)

let me know what you guys think, try not to be too bmw biased.


Thanks...ps this forum is 50x better than the audi one, way more bmw enthusiasts.
