I have stored mine for the past 2 winters. I've followed the recommendations of mike miller from the BMW CCA. If i remember correctly:
1) fresh oil to store. Don't store with old oil
2) battery tender a must.
3) check on battery once a month. Too hot = problem.
4) close all ac vents.
5) keep rodents at bay with whatever means you deem necessary depending on your storage location.
6) fill tank and use fuel stabilizer before driving to storage location.
7) store it clean.

I think that's it. I don't touch it until March and both times started right up 0 problems.
