| You’ll be fine if... | You’ll struggle if... | | :--- | :--- | | You have a private garage or wide driveway | You only park in a cramped 1930s underground garage | | You buy the Front Axle Lift and Parking Assistant Plus | You skip the camera options to save money | | You accept that wheels are a consumable item | You are obsessive about pristine rims |

Final score for parking: 7/10.
Brilliant tech (Reversing Assistant saves the day), but the physical dimensions and vulnerable wheels keep it from being truly easy. It’s a wide car—park it like a small truck, not a 3 Series.

The F90 M5 utilizes an 8-Speed M Steptronic transmission (Drivelogic), which behaves differently than standard automatics during parking maneuvers.

The Danger: Shopping carts and lifted pickup trucks. The Technique: Park far away. Yes, it sounds boastful, but the rear doors of an F90 open wide. You need space. Back into the spot (nose out). Why?

1. The Doors are Long & Heavy

2. Curb Rash is Inevitable

3. Blind Spots at the Rear Corners

4. The “Boat” Feel in Tight Ramps
