What 1 or 2 spots??? I would be lucky to find even 1 spot to park where I live, and as for the stereotype that BMW drivers are notorious for parking on 2 spots, have you ever seen people with 4x4 squeeze into one bay?
But like many people who have commented above, when I do find a spot, I tend to use one.

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.

My Ride: I have a 2007 Black Sapphire BMW 530i with SMG. It has the auburn interior, has PDC, Sports Package, Premium Package, rear automatic sunshades with manual side sunshades, 35% black tint, Upgraded angeleyes from Angelibrights, and Logic 7 Sound System
Model Year: 2007
Hmm...this is getting interesting. I ALWAYS park in one spot because I know how jealous people can get. Every since I got my kit with quads and acs front splitters put on, it seems like people just are looking for my car. I park not by the front...but maybe near the far middle if that makes any sense. In the end, it is just a car and there is nothing I can really do. My car has been door dinged, shattered glass, keyed, and just yesterday...I think a 4X4 opened its door to fast and took of a lot of paint from the door because it is near the top and no dents or anything, just paint missing. Yea it hurts, but what am I going to do? I have to make money to pay the payments and for new mods lol. I realized that in the end, its just a car...even though I love mine to death! JUST IMHO!
