Hi folks. Some time next month I would like to put my 325i rag top back onto the road.
But I have not used it for three years, started it a few times over that period.

Would it be cost effective if I was to drain all the fluides, engine,gearbox oil. water,break fluid to save on any potential damage that may be caused, or just go with it and see what comes.

To drain the engine is ok you just start it up, but what is the best way to warm up the transmision oil to drain.

Sorry if that was to long winded

Oil takes a long long time to go off. Check the fuel lines and brake lines for cracks and that's it fella...

Unless the engine oil is black that is.
