I was looking for a summer car for the past couple of days. For the past four years i had my Jeep Wrangler Sport over here and due to changing regulations, it was getting to be too expensive to Insure/Drive the 4.0liter over here so we shipped it back.

I was considering:
Mini One
Smart forFour
VW Golf 1.6FSI

I was walking by the BMW Dealer for these past few days and i didn't like how stripped down the new Cooper Ones that they had were. Well, i decided to go into the inventory lot and take a look at a pretty hot E46 M3 with all the Factory ACS goodies and i saw her. Shes a Dark blue with cloth interior. All the usual bits i guess (DSC, CD player, fog lights blah blah) The thing that caught my attention initially was this HUGE Canadian flad on the roof.... :eyecrazy .... but then after closer inspection i saw that the car only had ~3,500Km on the clock and it was also sporting the factory Works aero kit!!!!! All 16,500 Euro (`~4K off of sticker).

I'm excited. 1.4 liters with 75HP HAHAHAHAHA... at least it looks good and i wont need the usual 150 euro a week in gas that the jeep needed. Going to Give it the final test drive tomorrow morning and put down my deposit.

I CANT WAIT!

Can't you upgrade the software and get 115bhp? IIRC, the One is the same motor as the Cooper, just detuned.
