Storing your vehicle
If you intend to store the vehicle for
longer than three months, have the
maintenance operations described on
this page performed.<
Preparation for storage
Have the following operations per-
formed by your BMW center:
1 Clean and apply a rustproofing agent or
other treatment to the engine, engine
compartment, undercarriage, axles
and major components in accordance
with approved repair procedures. Wash
the vehicle, clean the interior and treat
painted and chromed parts. Clean the
rubber seals around the hood, luggage
compartment and doors.
2 Change the engine oil and oil filter
with the engine at operating tempera-
ture. As an additional corrosion pro-
tection measure, an anticorrosive
agent can be added to the engine in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
3 Check the coolant level and concen-
tration and top up if necessary.
4 Check the fluid level of the windshield
washer fluid reservoir; top up if nec-
essary.
5 Fill the fuel tank completely to pre-
vent the formation of condensation.
6 Increase the tire inflation pressure to
51 psi (350 kPa).
Before parking the vehicle for
storage
1 Dry the parking brake and footbrake
by brake applications to prevent the
brake discs and drums from corrod-
ing.
2 Park the vehicle in a covered, dry,
and well-ventilated room. Place the
transmission in 1st gear or set the se-
lector lever to the "P" position. Chock
the wheels to prevent the vehicle
from rolling if necessary. Do not set
the parking brake.
3 Remove the battery, charge it com-
pletely and store it in a cool (but
frost-free) room.
Z3 roadster/M roadster:
4 Remove the hardtop
* and store it
separately. Refer to page 109.
5 Close the convertible top.
During storage
Recharge the battery every six months.
If it is not recharged, it will not be ser-
viceable. Every time the battery is dis-
charged, especially over extended peri-
ods, its service life is reduced.
Removing the vehicle from
storage
Recharge the battery if the "Magic Eye"
turns black. Refer to page 167.
Then have Inspection I performed by
your BMW center, including a brake
fluid replacement if necessary. Refer to
the Service Manual.
