In the early 1970s I was a BMW mechanic at Autohaus Continental in New Jersey. I've since moved on from that profession, but I've retained some of my wrenching skills.

I live on a relatively steep, unmaintained dirt road in the Rockies, so the x-drive will come in handy when it starts snowing. When winter finally arrives, I plan to park the car and cover it for the winter with an outdoor factory cover. Apart from oil change, etc. any suggestions on winterizing?
