Has the day come to say goodbye to my e39 540i?

Couldn't you have just gotten something like a 500 quid 3 dr Focus?

lol.

I wanted something a bit different, and I like the Smart from a designers perspective - it is a cleverly designed little car!

This is a town car, not a commuting car. Simples.

Is the diagnostics up and running Liam?

Didn't get a chance to play with it in blighty, but I've just driven the car back to Norway (oh damn comfort seats are good! ) so will have a play soon and give you a shout if (when) I get into difficulty. Thanks again.

I actually quite like the idea of a smart car as a quick cheap easy car. The shame is, good ones (the 700cc Brabus ones that can have a remap to something like 115bhp) cost 4k, so aren't cheap at all.

How much did you end up paying in the end?

£2.5k for a '02 pre facelift, 1 owner from new with 44k miles.

Was from a dealer and yes I could have gotten one lots cheaper, but the condition of this one is stunning, inside outside and mechanically. Has a warranty too.

Maybe on 600cc but is nippy enough, and I drive it in full auto mode which means the gearbox is very dim witted, but I am lazy!

Should at least have got a Smart Roadster . They're cool

I don't really fit all that well in them at 6ft 4, also I prefer the cabin space inside the fortwo
