BMW 328i 108,000 miles, Christmas tree error codes, would you run...sell or repair...

So my 328i has about 108,000 miles on it...

Its a sulev with the 150k 15 year warranty. But with my nearest bmw dealer, its hard to get it fixed without them charging for something else and the cars value seems very minimal... They replaced the O2's yet the code is back.

I have replaced the water pump and t stat about a month ago, and the error code for the water pump is recently came back on.

I'm undecided on what I should do with the car. It seems to drive fine and my gf uses it back and forth to work at the moment, like 5 mins away.


Codes:

P140A

P0158

P114D

P2272

P2DED

P2E8B

P2E81

P2A00

P2ECC

P2C74

P2C7F

P2C6C


Run it till breaks down...
or dump more cash into it... (10 years old)
or sell it for 2k-5k?

Thoughs?

I agree, have you replaced the battery? a 5 minute drive isn't doing it any favors.

if the dealer just did work, and the same codes come back, I'd take it back to the dealer.

and then I'd probably fix the rest of it myself.

and then probably drive it another 100K miles.
