I was sitting in my e60 waiting for my fiance when one of them pulled up in the space on the right. I honked my horn (which startled her since she was paying no attention to anything but that damn cell phone) to make sure she knew I was in the car. She then opened her door very slowly and carefully to make sure it did not touch my car.

Its both kids and adults... sad thing is I watch people at work do this to other cars... they just fling it wide open and hope that their door will stop before it hits the other car and if not oh wells its stopped now.
Another thing is i see people open the door slowly and rest it against the car next to them while they take junk out rubbing their door against the other persons! Thats why I park FAR FAR AWAY... at work most people who park far are more careful with thier cars

Yeah,
In my case, (fortunately not the E60 yet), it's the adults at work that do the dinging. I've been overdue to get a private parking spot but I'm not rushing anyone...I prefer to self-park where I can park tandem, (single-file), versus the private spot where everyone parks parallel. I know I'll eventually get a ding in the parallel spot.

i always park next to another BM.. failing that, a Merc or Audi.
I've taught my wife these important parking techniques too...
And my kids know all too well how to respect cars!

I think usually it's probably small children that do this.? I am so dying to tell you that it's "know" in this context rather than "no."

I have always used Dentmaster for this type of ding - they do a fantastic job and you will never know the dent was there (so long as the paint is intact).
It is also fascinating to watch them work - amazing how they do it.
Typical cost is about GBP 50 per panel.

[/quote]When i had a z3Mcoupe i once parked next to an S-class merc - same idea always park near a nice motor... they did't dent my door but the b4st4rd ripped my rear bumper off and dented my ns quarter panel getting out of the parking spot then just got off... you cannot win..
