Long Term Storage Question

[joooiiiiii]

so I tried researching some information regarding long term storage. I'm leaving to Germany for a year again but this time I will be storing the M3 in a garage. The things I've done before I left this morning was:

Fuel stabilizer for gas
Oil change
Car cover
BMW Battery Charging system

I've followed instructions for the charging system and it stated that it could be plugged in indefinitely, however, someone mentioned that seems a bit much. Is there anything wrong with keeping it on the battery tender for a year?

Nothing wrong with the tender connected. Do you have anyone who can take the car out every month to get the fluids hot and circulated? I would do that if possible.

Some ppl also recommend you lift the car up onto jackstands so the tires dont develop flat spots if you cant move it once in a while.

Yeah I don't have anyone to do all that. My uncle is terrible with cars (no mechanical skills) and his driveway is so steep im 100% sure he would flatten my midpipe getting out of there.

I wasn't able to put it on Jackson's but I could see about overinflating the tires while its sitting there.

Inflate the tires to the max, fresh oil change, full fuel tank with stabilizer, dryer sheets inside the car and battery tender. If no tender available then disconnect the battery. I also like to have a good wash and wax prior to storage as well.
