I typically reverse into spaces when possible, I always reverse onto the driveway - this is in a van with only wing mirrors to see what's behind you.
My advice is to find an empty car park at Tesco, find some bays and practise reversing into them using only the wing mirrors - it's strange at first but you get the knack pretty quickly
No parking sensors, no rear view, no problem reverse parking.

This is my daily drive now when Im not driving the family taxi, no rear view, no parking sensors and I find it very easy to reverse park, reverse up the drive way, reverse out of ponds....

So guys, really , your little beemers and your little parking sensors, having trouble reversing, an easy solution would be to stop being little girls about the whole thing , put it in reverse and just get the job done.
As for the reversing and 'just get on with it' theme... Yeah, 99.999% of the time I do. My query was because now and again the only space available near where I have to go is VERY tight, and I need to see, not guess or estimate, how far my rear end is from the car behind.
Without any aids, it is impossible to see the back end. I often use the reflection in windows if I'm in the right place. Something that would improve the rear view would help.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.
I'd suggest a rear view camera but is it really worth it? My sister has one on her van and still managed to reverse into a bollard...
Seriously just muck about with some cardboard boxes or something. If you hit them then no worries, it's good practise reversing into things. I find the wooden fence at work is great for this sort of thing.
I laugh at spaces that big! HAHAHA.. like that.
I'm talking one and a half FEET longer than my car down to gaps you'd measure with feeler blades.

It also has a reversing camera, and sensors, which are useful but I still don't trust it 100% and often end up looking over my shoulder and using the mirrors anyway.
I think the sensors are more use than the camera, and I'm sure you could get aftermarket sensors.

I currently work in a similar building in Worcester ( some people on here will be familiar with it's toilets) with parking spaces equally unsuited to modern cars ( although my current vehicle is tiny) so maybe they haven't been respaced since the Morris Minor days either.
