Storing your vehicle

If you intend to store the vehicle

for more than 3 months, be sure to

follow the maintenance instructions on

this page.<

Storage preparations

Have your BMW center perform the

following procedures:

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. First wash the vehicle

surface, then clean the interior,

following up with paint- and chrome

care, after which you clean the

rubber seals for the hood and doors.

2 Change the engine oil and oil filter

with the engine warm. As an addi-

tional corrosion protection 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, top up if necessary.

4 Check the fluid level of the wind-

shield washer fluid reservoir; top up if

necessary.

5 Fill the fuel tank completely to

prevent the formation of condensa-

tion.

6 Increase the tire inflation pressure to

51 psi (350 Kilopascal).

Before parking the vehicle

1 To prevent the brake discs and

drums from corroding, dry the

parking and footbrake by applying

the brakes.

2 Park the vehicle in a covered, dry,

and well-ventilated area. Place the

transmission in first gear or, if neces-

sary, chock the wheels to prevent the

vehicle from rolling. Do not set the

parking brake.

3 Remove the battery, charge it

completely and store it in a cool (but

frost-free) room.

4 Remove the hardtop and store it

separately. Refer to page 114.

5 Close the convertible top.

During storage

Recharge the battery every six months.

If it is not recharged, it will not be

useable. Every time the battery is

discharged, especially over extended

periods, its service life is reduced.

Removing the vehicle from

storage

Recharge the battery if the "Magic

Eye

*" turns black. Refer to page 157.

Then have Inspection I performed by

your BMW center, including a brake

fluid replacement if necessary.
