My Ride: 2012 535i M Sport Package
OK guys, I have to admit, Park Distance Control would have helped 
I thought that the stop light would serve the purpose. boy, was I wrong...
the questions is who's fault is it me not getting the Park Distance Control option or the stupid license plate???

Not that big damage what I can see so you don't have to be that sad or mad. An "analoge" version is to put a tennis ball in a string from the roof and adjust it so it touches the windscreen when you are in.

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
I don't get it: Is that wall sensor supposed to be reflecting off your plate? If so, it's in sore need of realignment.
On the other hand, looks like the only damage is sheetrock, and that's no big deal. FWIW, BMW park control would not have been activated without going into reverse to trigger it. I guess they figure you're, well, um, sensible enough to see where you are headed.
Kiss the wall and make up.

My Ride: 130i, 265 HP, just serious extras
PDC for the rear is activated by the reverse gear, PDC for the front can be switched on/off by a switch placed next to the seat heating.
Guess that radar or ultrasonic thing needs some adjusting. But the wall looks worse than the car (the plate), better this way than the other!

Ouch--sorry to see that. Looks like the car did fine--actually one of the few good reasons to have a front plate, so your bumper didn't get damaged!

I think she does not have PDS in her E60. Notice the parking system on the wall, the three lights and the sensors!!! I think that Miss525i is actually saying that she is actually regreting not getting the PDC option to her car.
