Parking M3 for a month

M'EM · 12-01-2016, 06:16 PM

Hey guys,

I am parking the M3 as I will be out of the country for a whole month. Is there anything specific I need to do with regards to battery, gasoline etc..Sorry for the noob question. If it matters I live in FL and we still have 80 degree weather. If at all it gets cold it won't be for long and won't be anything below 50 degrees. Any suggestions is appreciated.

I think a gasoline issue is only an issue a year plus not a month, other than battery I think you will be alright. Put it on a trickle charger. I have a CTEK and a Optima I can chose from.

Full tank of gas and unplug the battery. You should be good for months.
