All of this is why my DD is the wife's MT Mazda 3. While it has virtually the same exterior dimensions as my M240i, it drives and parks noticeably smaller.
The real reason I use it, of course, is that I don't care what happens to it the way I would if the BMW was being abused in the parking lot wars.
I park the MZ3 in the far corners of supermarket/mall parking lots like I would the BMW. That's just common sense and force of habit.
Ironically, after 9 years of ownership, the Mazda has sustained not a single parking lot ding. Had the DD been a BMW, I feel certain I wouldn't be able to say that.
