I stored BMWs in years past, and (depending on the car and circumstance) used a battery tender or disconnected the battery. Either method is fine.

I also liberally scattered dryer sheets throughout the engine bay, trunk and interior in order to discourage rodents from taking up residence and chewing wiring. I also left a few desiccant storage bags (from Griots Garage) in the interior to absorb moisture.
All great suggestions! Never knew the dryer sheets thing….I will definitely be putting some of those in the engine bay.
