E60freak, since you're a relative newbie and this seemingly innocent question you asked has launched some pretty passionate posts, I have only one suggestion for you...
Create a new thread asking everyone (but especially Iceman) if they drive with their fog lights on when it's not foggy!
(Sorry, I couldn't resist!
)
Okay, on a more serious note, lets keep things as civil as possible -- overall, everyone's behaving generally well so let's keep it that way...

Oh Gawd Rudy...let's not start THAT debate again!!! Talk about passions - you could start a cross-pond war with that!

Hi folfs,
I was parking this morning at work when a guy (passing buy me in his car) asks me if there is something preventing me from parking in only one spot (since I always park on the yellow line and take 2). I just said that people don't care about their cars as much as I care about mine and that, parking like I do prevents them from ruining my paint job.
He then looks at me and says: Well we all know that people who drive BMW's are all ass holes anyway...
And he drives away...I mean he got me all pissed and didn't even stay around to let me fire a come back (I had a great one loooool)
So what do you guys do or think ???
1 or 2 spots ?

I park it to the left on most occasions. It just tends to go in that direction, and there's nothing I can do about it.
As for my car, it's always in one spot, with NOTHING next to it, not even a set of fallen nuts.

Bwahaha!! Dave, It's to the left because you are right handed.
