Put the tires at 50 pounds each. Also, each BMW comes into this country with a kill switch on the battery. For some strange reason, they remove them. But your dealer can replace easily and then all you have to do is throw the switch when storing for a long period of time.

You might also want to lubricate all rubber parts in the engine before storage.
