elvis, would you like me to take a pic of the rest of the empty car park? if it helps you like me more, i'm willing to give it a go.

If I drive into any car park and see parking like that I instantly think KNOB!
Even if it is empty.
Sorry if it is not what you wanted us to think.
Just my thoughts!!
At work I've made my own space in front of the main door for the VX 
But in a situation like this I'd just park in an emty end bay as far over to the side of the bay adjacent to the curb/grass as possible.
No issue with you doing that in a quiet work car park but if you did that elsewhere I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up getting keyed.

I'd tend to think: "Nice BMW, well looked after, I can see why he is protective of his baby". The horizontal parking might be considered by others to be taking the mick a bit, but certainly taking up two spaces in a near-empty car park wouldn't incite any rage in me like others have expressed :/If I drive into any car park and see parking like that I instantly think KNOB!

However, if it was a new BMW that didn't look particularly well looked after and was sloppily parked between two spaces I'd have a different opinion of the driver.
We have a car park with spaces that slope convexly down towards the drains/kerbs, rendering the white lines invisible to the mirrors as you reverse towards a space. The spaces themselves are a bit short and narrow for a Mondeo estate. A number of our folk drive Tonka toys (Audi and BMW SUVs) so the car park isn't ideal.
At least we have a car park for the workers though, unlike my last place.
ps. I wouldn't park diagonally across 2 spaces in an old BMW.

If you parked it straight in one space in the same position would anyone park in the spaces either side of you?
Only reason I ask is that the other cars in your photo seem fairly well regulated at leaving a gap between themselves.
If it is in an over-sized work car park, safe from vandals, and you don't mind the ribbing from your colleagues then fair play.

<touch wood> I'm quite lucky. It's a bit of an off-road experience and regularly overfilled, but working where I do it's full of people who respect eachother's cars. Everyone leaves eachother plenty of door space, in nearly 4 years here I've never seen anyone doing anything that would damage another's car
This was what I did when someone was 'precious' about his Audi and kept parking taking up part of the next space.
Kept parking it like that every day in what was a crowded car park. FWIW the car to the right was a pool car that hadn't moved for 5+ Months.
Then I took a pool car home and left it there overnight. He didn't do it again
