Note:
Before laying the vehicle up out
of use have the engine oil and
the oil filter element changed by
a specialist workshop, prefera-
bly an authorised BMW dealer.
If possible, do not restart the
engine after this work has been
completed!
Work needed in conjunction
with laying up or restoring to
use can often be combined with
the Service or Inspection work.
Have this work performed by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW dealer.
