Here is a comparison, I like the fellow that does it, down to earth with some common sense and without hype.

That's how they park in the old country, it's enough to make a man weep. The first time I was in Italy I recall being so impressed by how close they would back up to a wall, it didn't last long, I soon realized that were backing up until they hit it. Same sort of thing when they parallel park in what at first seemed an absurdly small spot, it's less impressive when you realize they will tap the car in front and behind them as many times as it takes to get in there. The curbed wheels; I'm starting to get a tear in my eyes thinking about it. Of course they do it all over in the old country to some extent, I just saw it first in Italy. Savages I tell you!

Just for those who don't have the time to listen to everything.

Here is his full review of the 4S as well as the long term review of the e-hybrid.

Just for anyone who may think I was beating up my friends across the pond, I wasn't, maybe a little bit in terms of parking in a way that could put you in jail in the US, but the peoples of Europe and Europe itself, no. I love it over there, in fact I'm thinking about getting a place in Italy whenever I decide to stop traveling. I was a little disturbed by the outdoors parking in those videos BTW, I was forced to have a second glass of wine to settle my nerves!

Get a M5 lease for 1200 a month. They are subsidized big and there are 100s on ground. That’s your lease answer.
