This will be my first winter with my '97 2.8i (I am second owner, car was never out in winter). I will be putting the Z in a rented garage for the winter. Such is life in Maine-good thing for the X5!
Should I:
A) remove battery altogether?, or
B) Leave battery in with a battery tender?
If answer "B", should it be the BMW battery tender that roadstersolutions.com sells, or can it be one from my local auto parts store? TIA.

i also do the following-
· place a box of baking soda inside the car to reduce the stale/musty smell after long periods of storage
· place moth balls around the car to keep rodents from moving in
· cover the exhaust pipes (extra measure against rodent intrusion)

I prefer to shoot rodents across the garage on first start up. A good healthy one makes good enough seal to REALLY pop out of the exhaust.

Is anyone using Battery Tender Plus ? I'm considering to buy one to use it in the Alpina. Is it conditioning the battery too ?
Any feedback is appreciated.

I have both Battery Tender Plus and Battery Minder units. For conditioning the Battery Minder is better. It has some features to help reduce sulphation of the plates.
