What do you want out of your car? Before you're ready to decide that, it's a bit pointless to offer advice.

A ti with 150k is a fantastic car, for the right person. So the question is are you the right person (or do you want to be?)?

If you're willing to do your own work, you could not find a less expensive BMW to own. (You'd be hard pressed to find any German car less expensive to own.) It also would be hard to find a car that is easier to work on, and is more rewarding of your efforts. If you're a DIYer or have ever wanted to become one, you could not do better. But if this is not what you want from you car, it might not be the right car for you.

If you want something that looks new, or feels new, or that the dealer will change the oil for you, maybe you want something else. But it would be hard to find something new that would be as fun to drive for five times the 'value' of your ti. If you're willing to put just a bit of money and effort into it, your ti will easily see you to 300k or more- if you would feel good about driving a car that far.

Who's going to enjoy your ti more- you, or the person you might sell it to...?
