So apparently I cant seem to park the car straight no matter how many times I try. It always look like its twisted to the right or left. Went to the dealer a couple of times and even did 2 alingments and a chassis check up and they couldnt find what was wrong. I had the car for 5 years, noticed this issue when my car started pulling to the right. The latter was fixed but the car still looks twisted to either left or right.

Would any bent suspension elements cause this ? That was my latest alingment[IMG][/IMG]

Driver mod!
Haha jk.

So I'm trying to understand your issue here, so after you park the car, is it that it looked crooked from behind the car after you park into a spot?

And you're certain it isnt that the other cars around making look like it is crossed?

A good test you can perform is a car tracking. You'll need someone behind you while you are driving the car making sure it is actually driving straight and not at an angle. If that's the case, there's something wrong. Car never had an accident before it was purchased or during your ownership correct?

I always park my other two cars straight. But for some reason, I park my BMW mostly leaning to left. The car drive straight with no problem. I guess it is my reference point different.

Do you have top view cameras? If you do, you can press your PDC button to initiate the top view feature and if you are pulling into a parking space that is lined...you should be able to see the lines and adjust your parking accordingly.

I do this when pulling into my garage...I can see the cut in the concrete that divides the two sides of the garage.
