make sure you have your radio code first then disconnect it. or if you can have a friend or family member start her up.

I agree, it should be just fine, im sure your m3 sat in the dealership for longer then two months with the battery connected and maybe no one driving it...

i agree you dont need to disconnect the battery unless your worried about someone trying to steal the car, i dunno, if you want you can get a trickle charger and keep it on the battery to keep it fresh. also they arent that cheap and every car guy should have one, (for boosts, dying batteries, etc)
