Engine prep out of hibernation?

[Ladderman]

My Z4 hasn’t been started since October. Can anyone recommend a piston lubricant. I’m planning on taking out the spark plugs & turning the engine over. Any advice would be much appreciated

I should think it will be fine, spin the engine without plugs if you want, but I’d kill the fuel pump so unburnt fuel doesn’t go on the cats.
I’d just start it & let it idle :?

Just start it. I've left fine for 4 months each year for that last 3 yrs and its started perfectly. Just let it idle for a few minutes.

If it was my car, I would start it as normal, drive to motor spares and buy oil and filter, change it when you get back and all will be well for the summer.
