2001 BMW 316 Repair Question

Off the road car minimum running
Engine Mechanical problem
2001 BMW 316 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 90000 miles
Hi, thanks for opportunity for asking my question.
I own the above vehicle which is off the road since I recently moved to Germany at short notice for a 2 year period with company car provided. I took it with me since I could not sell it at anywhere near a decent price due to lack of time and market conditions (best offer I had was 1100 quid!).
I will need it again in about 18 months so have it off the road in underground parking in the meantime, and wondered what is the minimum running I should do to keep it serviceable. I can't find any info anywhere regarding this and am currently putting about 10 miles on it every 4 weeks.
Would you know if this is sufficient and/or have any further advice?
Thanks in anticipation.

You should be fine mate, the battery will keep a charge and if you keep fresh gas in it you should have no worries.
