Reverse parking the F10
For the love of God i cant seem to be able to reverse park my F10 at one attempt.
We have marked parking slots in my apartment and i like reversing into my spot. But with just using the side mirrors as my guide, i cant seem ti get the car parallel at first attempt. I will step out of the car and see that i'm bent. Is it something with the lines of the car or the shape? or my driving skills is just lame? |

Do you have the backup camera? If in doubt, the lines on the display will show you where the car will go and if parallel to your parking space lines.

Don't think I can help you with that, sorry.

also put it in sport mode so the steering is tighter and more direct. I'm serious. I back into a garage all the time and don't have backup camera or PDC and I swear it's harder to do in comfort or comfort+ mode (which is great for backing over the driveway curb thing to get in my garage) but not so for steering.
lol
