Car cover

I've tried searching over the last couple of days but it keeps playing up so I'm gonna ask.

What car covers do people have? I'm keen to get a fitted one for my 2 e30's, don't really want a generic 'small/medium' car one although that may end up happening. Both are for cars kept indoors.

Make sure it's breathable and don't cover any paint that's been applied in the last 3-6 months. I have one from machine mart and one from Halfrauds. Much the same really, both do a food job.

I have a fleece lined one for my M3 and bought it from Classic Additions.

It is elasticated at the front and rear and has ears for the wing mirrors

We used the classic additions ones at my old job and they are very nice. It's just they're £260 as you mentioned, then the gap to a basic one is huge; £30-£50 for a basic eBay job :mad:

To keep the dust off the track car while it's in the garage I've just bought one of these. Can't go wrong really:

Still want to get a nice one for the road car.

seems a bit cheap @ £8.99 , whats it feel like ???? is it harsh feeling in a sense on the paint ? and not very breathable ?
