Unfortunately, re the seatbelts & doors, being a 2 door it is what it is. My 5'0" wife complained about both the door size and difficulty in reaching the seatbelt for the entire 10 years she owned her Saab convertible and she's not too happy as a passenger in my 128i 'vert.
Perhaps, since you say you have your elbows bent, you could try the traditional Italian (straight-arm) driving position and move the seat back a bit. I position my seat as far back as possible while still permitting me to operate the clutch without strain.
And I find that opening the door to the first detent (about half-way) generally avoids any mishaps and allows me to slide in or out - as long as I keep my weight down.
Also, you might check out the CPO 1ers available on BMWUSA.com if you prefer not to buy new.
