1. Fill the tires to 45 lbs
2. Disconnect the battery if you are not going to run the car for more than a month. I questioned that due to electronics and he said it would be okay. I have winter tires so I would run the car weekly for about an hour or two in lieu of disconnecting the battery. Had no issues keeping the battery charged.
3.Maintain a full tank of gas during storage.
I didn't cover my car because there weren't any issues with dust. I did wash it at a touchless car wash every 2 weeks. I am paranoid about salt on the roads! Had no issues at all regarding winter storage here in NH during the winter. I have a 2010 328i xDrive for winter and last spring I started counting down the days to March 15th to switch cars! Good luck.

what's the purpose for the 45 PSI. I have left at 33. I/m sure it's no where near that now.
