Bill tried to park the car in the parking space at least three times.
German does not have the verb to back something in…
anytime you see two verbs, you will need a subordinating clause in German
wenigstens
Bill hat mindestens 3 Mal versucht, das Auto rückwärts in die Parklücke zu fahren
Bill hat wenigsten dreimal versucht, das Auto in der Parklücke(f.) zu parken.
immerhin is also possible here. The backing in requires rückwart fahren because there is no verb to back in in German.

after all
(immerhin)

even
sogar

(only reflexive)
