To keep or sell?

I have been thinking about selling my 2005 Z4, the main reason is because we really can't use the car for long travel. We use the car for local weekend driving only. The car has 55,000 miles on it, which is less than 7,000 miles a year. Our life in Florida is a trip up to New Jersey to visit family once a year, this adds 3,000 miles to our car, and 3 or 4 trips to GA to visit our chrildren and grandkids which adds 1,000 per trip.We use our main car for these trips along with my wife driving back and forth to work each week, this averages about 20,000 per year on our main car. We just purshased a 2013 Prius 4 weeks ago and now have 5,000 on it and I haven't made my first payment yet. We made a trip to NJ and a trip to GA. At this point the Z4 has a value, I was offered $16,000 in trade on another car at a dealer last week. The problem is, we both love the Z4 and enjoy the car very much. We are both having a hard time letting the Z4 go. What I'm asking is how many people out there have Z4's with 100,000 miles on them. We are at a tipping point, do we cash in the Z4 now or drive it to 100,000. If we traded the Z4 it would be for a Camery or something we could use for our trips to NJ and GA which would keep the miles off our new Prius.
