How do you park your F10 M5?
Unfortunately, I got my second front bumper side scuff yesterday in a store parking lot. I just don't seem to get used to the car's dimensions coming from a smaller vehicle. My M5 does not have side view cameras. How do you guys park your M5s? Does turning on front parking sensors each time help?

Very carefully now! I recently parked in a spot that had a concrete parking stop which I thought was pretty low. I didn't see the piece of rebar that was sticking up which ripped a hole right in the plastic molding just below the bumper. At least it ripped that and not my bumper. I figured a RKP front lip would hide that, but then I would have to be even more careful about parking!!
This thing is a tank. My wife's GL is easier to park than my M5. I don't even bother taking it downtown or trying to park it in a garage. |

It won't matter if you have cameras or not. I tried to avoid hitting a curve in a tight spot by backing up and re- adjusting. I still tapped the curve scrapping the bottom right corner ofmy spoiler. But it does help especially if you have other toys in your garage like I do.

I'm always curious how these conversations would unfold if everyone were in person.

Can the mods please move this thread over to the M3/M4 side of the forum. The attitudes taken against one another here befits the M3/M4 crowd much better.
Gentlemen must be gentlemen on this side of the forum gents.

Lamborghini's have the front lift system to prevent bumper curb rash. Push a button and your ride rises ~2" to clear those curbs. I am sure you can look into retrofitting one.

You can't pull up to the curb anymore, just something to get used to.
I always stop short of the concrete parking slab or sidewalk. Actually even with my lowered CP suspension, I could still fit over the concrete parking stop I've noticed, but I don't bother with it. On my 458 and my M3 (because they are so low) if I try to pull up over anything I will literally smash into it head on -- so you learn quickly if you don't want damage. My M3 will actually bottom out on speed bumps if I don't go really slowly and at an angle.
