Default BMW 330 CI convertible for swap for newage

I am looking to swap my BMW for another Impreza. Its a lovely car as detailed below.
BMW 330 CI convertible
M tech kit
Dark blue with a blue hood
Grey leather interior
Carbon effect trim
Auto dimmer rear view
electric seats
electric mirrors
auto headlights
rain sensor wipers
Sealed auto box with sport mode
M tech wheels
M tech steering wheel
11 months tax and MOT
FSH
64K

I paid 6k for the car not so long ago from a forecourt, although I appreciate this is strong money I always try to find the best examples of any car I buy and in doing this I normally have to pay that bit extra.
I am looking for a straight swap for a newage STi ideally a bugeye but I am open to other models, I like things to be unmodified if possible.

Images are below, in order to abide by forum rules I Will say the car is 6k but as above i am looking to swap.
I am based on the surrey/hampshire border close to the A3.

Thanks for looking

What type of car would you be willing to swap for as I've got a prodrive type uk bugeye Sti. It's covered 55k miles full Subaru service history hpi clear. It's had a engine rebuild by API 2 years ago with forged pistons. Rebuilt gear box as 3-6 syncros were shagged.

Can I ask what type of service history your car comes with. What was the last service done was it inspection 1 or 2. How long till the next service and again what service would be needed. Is it a cambelt or chain and if it's a cambelt has that been changed yet? Sorry for the questions.

Hi,

No worries about the questions, it's important to be thorough.
E46 models benefit from timing chains so it's unlikely they will ever need to be replaced. As far as service goes its as follows.
12133 miles at BMW Windsor
25702 miles inspection 1 BMW Windsor
36174 miles Park lane BMW
40695 miles inspection 2 service fulham carriages
51600 miles oil service
61797 miles inspection 2 service at ATS Windsor
The car is currently showing just under 64000 so the next inspection service is about 12000 away, however the next service will be the cheaper inspection 1 service.

The last MOT had no advisory notices and from driving it it's hard to see where one could come from in the furter, it's tight as a drum.

With regards to the kind of car I am looking for a bugeye is perfect, they are my prefered Impreza probably as my first one was a bug eye.

Hope that helps but feel free to ask any more questions you might have.
