This happens in my garage every day.

Today, in the "small car only" end spaces, there was a full size long bed PU, a Chevy Traverse, and a very poorly parked Kia Optima. All of which where hanging well out into the travel lane.

Somewhere, I have a photo of an FC RX-7 parked in a "Low Emission Vehicles Only" spot.

I think you're right though, the headlights and sculpting of the front look different.

One thing I notice, since you and I have basically the same car, is our E46 is getting smaller ... like that guy in "the incredible shrinking man" ...

I can remember when the e46 seemed, while not large, at least average - now it's hard to see in a parking lot.

You should print it, turn it into a "which one of these is different" game, and stick it up on a bulletin board at work
