Hi,
I have been toying with the idea of selling my car for couple of months now. Just happen to see your post and thought maybe you might be interested. It should tick most of the items on your list. Have a look through the spec below if you are interested PM me.
Regards
SGRG
Car details are as follows:
3.0 2003 6 speed manual
47469 miles covered so far
Silver Grey with black heated leather seats
Black roof
Xenon
Business CD with 6 disc changer, 10 speakers.
108s wheels - 2 new non runflats were added when i picked the car up in August 2010, 2 new rear non runflats added last year.
Sports button
AA warranty expires August 2012 - doesn't cover roof though.
Downside:
1. No satnav - don't think it's important as there are better portable ones available now
2. No multi function steering wheel
3. Cruise control - cruise can be added easily yourself there is a good how to here somewhere. Thinking about doing it myself if i decide to keep the car around.
Rest are standard features abs, airbags etc.
Mods:
1. Removed standard aerial with a stubby from a Peugeot - reception is decent.
2. Sound generator mod - removed the foam closest to the cabin. Can be put back easily. There is a good sound improvement.
3. Added gaptech one touch and remote roof module - allows control of roof via your key. Works perfectly.

Work done so far during my ownership:
1. An ignition coil was changed i think early last year.
2. Brake fluid and coolant flush done in Jan 2011.
Service:
1. Inspection 2 at Cooper Colchester BMW 17/10/2011. 14325 miles before the next service which is the oil service.
Misc:
Car has always been garaged during my ownership. When i bought it, it had done around 42k miles so it has done about 5.5k miles in 1 year and 6 months of my ownership. Convertible roof works perfectly. I am the fourth owner. I should have checked it properly as I am pretty sure the dealer said it had two previous owners before me. Regardless car is faultless. Random fact, i recently did a trip from Colchester to Briston and back on one full tank of gas. Covered 390 miles which is pretty impressive for 3.0 liter sports car. Currently on a private plate. Images below shows the original plate number which i plan on putting back. Private plate SG22UBG available at extra cost.
MOT expires - 05/08/2012
TAX renewal - 31/07/2012
I am looking for £7900.
