vanos 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Gidday. I am away overseas for a month. I wonder if there are any ''care'' tips for my 96'e36 323i (odo.196k).

Keeps it away from thieves - especially seeing as you have told everyone on a public forum roughly where the car will be located :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Security-wise... steering wheel lock, disconnect battery, pull a few random fuse/relay to make it unstartable even if jump-starting Maybe put the car on blocks? If you are really into car care, treat the rubber seals (windows, door and boot) and tyre before you go. Top up the fuel tank to minimise chance of condensation in fuel tank.
