Can't Park Straight
I am a little embarrassed and confessing that I am not able to park straight with my X6.
I can park straight going forward, but when I am reversing I always seem to be crooked. I don't have this issue with my E92, My wife's Jeep or my pick up truck Chevy Avalanche. I feel like the curvature of the hood throws me off or if it's the Camera. When I look at the birds eye view it looks fine, but when i get out and look it's definitely not straight. Has anyone had this issue?

You'll get used to it. I agree, it is embarrassing, especially when you KNOW you have the talent for backing into a spot.
I had that same problem when I first went from the E70 to the E71. I had those little spot mirrors on my side views and would use them to back up straight with the lines. |

I had the same issue, made me look/feel like a retard. I no longer go by the front drivers fender but simply by looking straight out front and keeping my front end straight ahead.

Yea I have been getting somewhat better at it. Been using the front fender for so long almost hard trying to break that habit.

The auto tilt mirror is awesome for that feature, I like it much more than the reverse camera. Going from my X5M to my GMC truck, I hate parking that boat now.
Maybe it helps that I was a valet for while many years ago, and got used to parking all sorts of vehicles using the side mirrors, without the ability to adjust them easily. |
