Anyone park their E70 in an 8' garage?

RideM5 · 12-04-2014, 08:14 AM

I'm looking to buy an X5 in the near future, but curious how difficult it would be to park in my garage that has two 8' wide doors. Does anyone have experience with this?

I dont know abt 8' wide door but make sure you get the top view camera option, its a piece of cake to park in tight spaces w that on

Agreed... I always forget to turn on the camera when parking, but it is a great feature. Helps you see if you're centered in parking spaces. I like it.

Does the birds eye work if the mirrors are folded?

No it does not. The rear view and side view still work though.

What's this "side view" you speak of? Have I completely overlooked a basic feature???

It was an option. If you have cameras on bottom sides of your front bumper you have it. To activate is the last button in the row with traction control, parking mode, hill decent, etc.
