My Ride: 2004 545i, Sport and Premium package, Titanium Silver with Black Dakota Leather interior
That thing looks fantastic!
That being said... IMO, the car is far from smart. The gas mileage is par with a Honda Civic, and half the size. No trunk space, no people space, nothing. Might make sense in Europe with the narrow streets etc etc. Might make a fancy golf cart. If you get hit by anything larger than a moped... your dead.
I guess if this is just a "toy' it makes sense. If this was meant to be "smart" then...

They say the first step towards recovery is acknowledgement. I acknowledge I have a problem.

2. So what gets you better MPG - the Smart or your 550 now?
3. Honestly, that's easily the hottest looking Smart I've ever seen

You may have seen this, but when I had my smart I used to frequent Evilution
Great little site with loads of mod ideas, some you might never have thought of too. Also a load of maintenance help. The bloke who runs it is a great guy too.
