Car storage options for a couple of months

[jj0007]

Hi guys. I'll be overseas for a couple of months and was thinking about putting the Z4 into a car storage. Can anyone recommend a good one around London at a reasonable price?

For only 2 months, is it necessary to go for options where they start and roll the car for you?

Why not rent it out to a mate? £2000 for 2 months?

No. I park my car for the winter (5 to 6 months each year) without it being started or 'rolled'. Due to the extended time and cold temperatures, I do connect a battery maintainer. I've never had a problem with 'flat spotting' on the tires.

If anything, starting it for short periods is just going to contaminate your oil as it doesn't get up to operating temperature for long enough.
