I just park really, really far away from anyone else 
Our company moved to a new lacation in downtown Helsinki
and a got a new company payed garage spot for my car.
I'm so luck to say that this spot must be over three yards wide
and on the other side there's a pole and the spot next to mine
is used by a small Toyota Corolla.
No door dings yet, either.

If I see any E60 parks with two spaces, I won't key his/her car, but I'll hammer it with axes 
Hey, Hey, i've done that before, only when there is plenty of parking spaces, but i would never ever ever do that when parking is scarce

Not if you are careful. I have no door dings yet. 30,000 miles, and had it since 11/2004.
Just have to park in end spaces, and hug the curb.

Right I had my MINI for over 3 years and 0 door dings. I was very careful in chosing where I park. But then again it is a little smaller than the E60 so might have been easier to prevent door dongs on that car.
E60 Since Dec 2004. no door dings yet either. *KNOCK ON WOOD*

I was parked in a tight spot the 2nd day I picked up my M5 and this idiot opened his Merc C class door onto mine and put a deep ding in my rear panel! At least I caught the fuxxer and made him pay for it!! From then on, I always take up 2 parking space when the parks are tight! (I normally do that anyway with my F360)

We should take a poll to see how E60 forum members park their rides. Me, I prefer to hug the curb. And I usually look for one that's away from everyone else. However on occassion I have parked across three spaces. I only do that when the lot isn't really full. Kinda like showcasing my ride.
