[MIMISOCKM2]

Hi all,

I lay up my car for at least 2 (typically 4) months at a time during winter whilst the roads are salted. I have no ability to charge the battery where the car is parked (no power outlets), so in other cars in the past I have just disconnected the negative terminal and that's enough to see me through winter.

Problem with the M2 is that the battery is in the boot, AND there is no mechanical key lock for the boot.

So am I right in thinking that the process for locking up the car after disconnecting the battery, and accessing the car again, is as follows?:

* Open driver's door
* Open boot
* Disconnect negative terminal
* Close boot
* Close driver's door
* lock manually with key in driver's door

To open again:
* manually unlock driver's door with key
* open bonnet
* Use jumper pack on connection points to provide power to ECUs
* open boot using electrical release button
* re-connect negative terminal

Anything I'm missing? The whole thing of course hinges on the jumper pack being able to power the car adequately to open the boot.

Thanks!
