    Looking at Purchasing an Outdoor Car Cover

    Looking at purchasing an outdoor car cover for my E23. Don't have a garage at the moment, hoping that will change so in the meantime I need something to protect my car. Looking for something that is somewhat rain resistant and isn't crazy expensive either. Looking to spend around $200, is quality made and has a good fitment. So far I've been recommended and considering Covercraft. Anyone have any pics for the fitment of Covercraft or have any other recommendations???

    I bought this brand of cover for my E93. https://www.amazon.com/CarsCover-Cus...scover+bmw+e93

    It goes on very easy. Fits beautifully and snug considering it's not custom made to my car. It's supposed to be weather tight but I can't attest to that as I only use it for covering my car in the garage in winter.

    I've found one thing you should look for on any cover is mirror pockets. They not only make it easy to put the cover on (you put the cover over the mirrors first) but it makes the cover sit flush to the car to prevent flapping in the wind. That's what could cause scratches. Especially if there's dust on the car.
    Look! Before our very eyes, the future is becoming the past.
