its a 2003 October model with 6 gear speed box (very rare in Europe), full options

I have a couple of questions though.
The car seems to have 82.000 real kms.Thats 51.200 miles. Is there anything I need to pay special attention too? The last service was done at 69.000 km (43.150miles).

Also, Is the a site where I can get all the extras of the car with the VIN? So far I was only able to get the production year, engine code etc etc. What I really need to know is the code for the color.

Thanks for any help guys!

The color code is situated on the right hand side (Or in your case the left hand side seeing it Left Hand Drive) of the engine on a black plate usually somewere around the wheel arch.

As for your other question maybe check your timing belt would be a good idea also

In order to check the timing belt, does the front need to be removed?

Do you know how many different codes for black exist? I am trying to find a hardtop with the exact same color as mine.

Looks nice! Hopefully it will stop raining soon so you can enjoy the wind in your hair.

You don't have a timing belt.

The Dual Vanos system in your car replaces the traditional timing belt, with a system of chains and cams that can advance or retard the valve timing on both the intake and exhaust depending on the needs of the engine.

You can have a dealer inspect your VANOS...but that is the closest thing you can do to having your timing belt checked.
