it p**ses me off when people park like this

Hey now. We gotta simmer down. Only one is a dreamy S54 powered awesomemobile. The other is just some S52 beater M. Sigh, it'll have to do... I guess... ;D

Tow hooks might be helpful to get some clearance.

That is a great safer-parking-in-the-city solution! @elitt13 do you or anyone know the owner or recognize what brand of removable tow bar this is? (looks like it clears the OEM diffuser neatly)

This was done to me the other week. The nimrod left their keys in the ignition, too.

I triple checked to make sure he didn't tap my car.
After I pulled out (which was a pain since the car in front was fairly close too), I got out and made sure there was not a single scratch.
Plus my car was dirty and it would have been noticeable if he did.
I'm pretty sure the driver saw how close he/she was. I'm just surprised the person left it like that.

You will know for sure after the 1st big temp change.

An old man bumped one of my m3s and looked like nothing until the 1st cold temp and he had spider webbed the rear bumper.

Leave a note on his car: "The way you pull in makes me wish your father had pulled out."
