      I park hard. I can pull in and usually pull through, but I'm terrible at pulling out.

      Edit: What are we talking about?

        I don't like reverse in or parallel because no power steering.

            easier for me to pull in, but i have rear stearing in my car with lsd front wheel drive, a hood spoiler, rear air dam and the steering wheel is in the back seat. oh wait, my seats are installed wrong.

                Not a clue.

                I voted backing in.

                I can do it much, much easier and quicker. It also turns out a lot more evenly and straight too. It's what we do at the dealership, so it has stuck with me.

                    That depends on how fast you are?

                      i work at a car dealership, every car gets backed into a spot, even shit fucked 94 ls400's that dont have power steering and are missing both mirrors!

                      i didn't know how to parrallel park for a long time, again at a dealership you get good, now im the fucking champ.

                      as for e30's, they like to be backed in. you will see at any e30 meet, we line these bitches up and make their titites shake

                        Back in, pull in, pull through, not to fond of the parallel cuz dudes never let you back up into the spot, and or they pull to close and your stuck :/

                          Parallel parking can be stressful with a line of cars waiting for you, but i've never seen drivers so idiotic that they go too close, stopping you from backing in, as long as you've signaled what you're doing and don't confuse them. I noticed that e30 owners tend to back in a lot more than other BMW groups, like e46's.
                          The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                            When you park, then gawk at your awesome parking job.

                            Then, after gawking for 5 minutes, you post on r3v about how hard you parked.
                            :woowoo:

                            As for parking, lately I've been "whatever faces the front downhill" parking, as my parking brakes are überfübar, and I've yet to order the parts. The bike gets parked for easy exit, be it back in, pull through, or pull in. I don't have reverse, it's not a land yacht.

                              Reverse in. It's the easiest to steer straight.

                                Nah I thought hardparked was like fuh race. A car all done up for stance and agressive look just to be parked to look at and not used.. or something like that.
