Also what's the correct way to go through automatic car wash? With the engine on and in neutral?
I use a touchless carwash. I drive in, I put my X3 in Park, and when the process is complete I engage Drive and move forward to the blow dryer.

If I were to ever use a standard carwash, one that moves my X3 through the pads, brushes and blowers via a motorized belt (and Gasp! actually touches it!), I would fold my mirrors, move forward until the attendant told me to stop, shift to Neutral, wait until I got to the end, engage Drive, and move forward. Oh yeah, I would also pay extra for Wheels, in the hope that they would actually wash off a layer of brake dust.
