Would you trade in an original MY SR for a new MY?

[BMWY]

So we were lucky enough to snatch one of the OG SRs (7 seater) back in 2021 when they were released for like a 6 week period. Car has been great these three years, zero complaints or issues, but we have been toying with the thought of trading it for a newer Y LR.

That said, given the relative scarcity of this SR (no idea how many were produced but it couldn't have been many) and the fact that we haven't really had any issues, is this something that would be worth holding on to?

*Would also love to hear from some other original SR owners on their thoughts and experiences

There's certainly no "collectibility" reason to hold on to it.

If you feel you have a perfect car, I would not make any changes. There are lots of small, but annoying issues people are encounterihng with the newer Ys. Do you need the extra range?

I personally wouldn't sell unless I really had to. Cool / rare model that we will only see less and less of.

We had a standard range Raven S that we traded for a Long Range Y and absolutely no regrets. Since you're debating going from SRY to LRY, if it was me I would certainly do it. I like the lower price/instant tax rebate now, extra range, updated MCU, HEPA filter, comfort suspension, etc...but it would also suck losing ultrasonic sensors IMO.

I only see Standard Range models losing more value over time compared to a used Long Range. The "rarity" of an SR Y does not increase its appeal, especially when range is paramount for an EV.

There won’t be any collectible production Model Ys but if you are happy with it I’m not sure I’d make a change.

.but it would also suck losing ultrasonic sensors IMO.

But they also plan to disable USS on older models and transition them to Vision if I’m not mistaken. So keeping it for the USS has an expiration date.

Keep it… ultrasonic sensors and probably the most limited Y ever produced.
