205k miles is impressive. Any major issues during your ownership? I had a 2004.5 G35 that I kept for 9 years as well (90k miles), no issues with that Gen either.

I'm finally saying goodbye to the G. I haven't had her 10 years as I'm the second owner, but it was getting close. She is still such a strong car at 205k and almost 17 years. I have purchased a new-to-me car but drive her periodically to ease the transition while I passively post her up for sale. I am so impressed with this car. It was ahead of its time with the technology package and has provided such a great, interactive ownership experience for me. I'll definitely miss her when she's officially gone.
Wait, I friended you here! LOL
Either way... curiosity has me asking, what's next?

No major issue. The biggest headaches I've endured with this car are the sunroof drain valve replacements (first passenger than driver a year or so later). The car really has been amazing.

Next? I went back to my dreaming-of-Bimmer days. 2017 340i Msport. I finally found the combination I wanted at a decent price for the market. Pretty subtle: Mineral Gray Metallic with Dakota Saddle Brown interior. But also has Track Handling Package, Adaptive M Suspension, M Performance Exhaust, and a few other packages for which I was looking. Had to go up to Pennsylvania and drive it back to get it.
It is still a stark difference to get into my G and drive it. The G is so much more a visceral car. In fairness, I haven't modded much of anything yet on the BMW. And the G had several significant mods selected by tons of research coupled with in-depth reviews from people like yourself, Rochester. This has been a great community overall. I'll miss it.

Best wishes to you, nelledge. 
Awesome next car you've found.
Film? For behind the clock face? I think I might remember that. Man, the Org was fun back then.

@nelledge Sad to see another member move on but it seems like you've had an impressive journey with the G and lots of (s)miles! They really are great cars in so many ways. Perhaps someday I'll join you in the Bimmer world as my next (or additional) car will be an E90 M3 most likely. Do you have any pics of your new vehicle?
