Remember the Car Battery

You might have already thought of this but don't forget about the car battery. If you leave it sitting for awhile the battery will drain. I just left the dealer Friday because my FOB wouldn't work properly with comfort access. I was told that I didn't "drive" the car enough and the battery drained making some remote functions not work properly.

Since I have a convertible, I am doing the same thing and keeping my E93 up for the winter. Solution - I bought an "Advanced Battery Charging System" from BMW. Cost $70. It plugs into the battery connections under the hood and then into an electrical outlet. I think it's worth it so when I get ready to crank it up again I won't have to worry about the battery or paying $500 for a new one.

They also make one solar powered but I believe you said it will be in the garage so that won't work.

Just a suggestion.
