That’s interesting! I never thought about it that way but now I can see it. I will say, despite the seven or so extra inches on the new car, it feels like much less of a boat than my old one, which was equipped with the DHP. Only time I really feel the extra length of the g60 is when I’m pulling into my garage, which is a real clenching experience for me since I have to essentially get it right up against the wall to fit. For reference, it’s five inches longer than my ex wife’s 2021 Toyota Highlander.

I don't have mine yet, but I imagine it would be easy to park close to something if you just use the parking cam view. Doesn't it work that way, so you could easily see how close you are to things around you?

That and when you get the remote parking up to work - it’s perfect for those situations

I had Tanzanite Blue on my F30 340i…it’s a beautiful color. The flecks are from the extra pearl coat layer, which is why this is considered a BMW Individual color. In shade TB can look almost black and in sunshine it just sparkles and has a hint of purple to the dark blue. Great looking car Scrapula

I inch it up slowly but I need to do it until the sensors are no longer beeping but a solid tone and the graphic is solid red.

You might be able to record a path into that space, or alternatively if you line it up right, you can hop out of the car and inch it back with your phone.

Hey SkykingUSA -- Sorry I missed your earlier message. Grabbed a photo of the wheels (which I love) and the trim (open pore blue/grey wood), and interior (black veganza). Love it all.
