Yesterday wash and then decided to use the F-11 I just bought. Cleaner and sealer. Must say it looks pretty good.

Left it parked on the street for two weeks. I’m probably going to go for a 30 min drive, maybe get some gas to keep it around 3/4 full. How often are you guys moving your cars during this pandemic?

My wife left her 2002 e53 4.4 outside for 3 weeks, and the battery was low enough it wouldn’t start. A slow charge for a couple hours and it started right up. I thing the alarm system drained the battery.

Every 4 or 5 days here. Though the diesel has been in the garage on stands for the past month. That first start should be fun.

Start and drive to NOT once a week. Fill with diesel at 3/4 tank. On a battery tender in the garage otherwise.

Installed the Curt Hitch and 7-pin connector. Took about 3 hours start to finish (including cleaning up afterwards). I think the wiring took about 1/2 the time.

Ran after 2 weeks on the street. Took it to my parents to see why my brother's e91 is misfiring and my mom's e46 is overheating

Update if anyone cares to know:

-e91 had oil in the spark plug hole in cylinder 4 and it was misfiring. I switched the coil pack out and misfire is gone but going to need to replace some seals to get rid of some leaks and seepage

-e46 radiator drain plug wasn’t installed correctly so lost a lot of coolant and the engine got hot. I reinstalled the plug and put in distilled water for now
