Car will be sitting for a month...

Unfortunately I'll be having surgery next week and won't be able to drive for about 4 weeks after. My car (2015 335i Xdrive w/ 48k miles) will be sitting parked in the garage. Is there anything I should be doing to prepare the car for a month long down time? Fill up the tank or don't fill up the tank? Trickle charger?

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated so I don't unintentionally damage the car.

This situation is a first for me

First - wishing you an expedient recovery.

One month isn't a particularly long time to keep the car in the garage.

If you have a trickle charger, by all means use it.

I suggest to fill up the tank, add 2 PSI in each tire, and that's about it.

Filling the tank isn't necessary in warm weather. Use the charger for sure, and a few extra pounds of air in the tires.
