Car cover rec's?

Sorry guys, but the search button isn't working.

Anyone with any reccomendations for a car cover?
Any stores to look for? Bavarian Autosport vs. OEM? NOAH vs. Evolution 4?

I got the BMW car cover for 151.69 online at http://www.pacificbmw.com/. It is the NOAH material which I have used for years on numerous cars with no problem. I love the material. I would recommend it.

I got the same BMW car cover for the E90. I love it, it is really a NOAH manufactured for BMW.

It fits like a glove and works great in the South Florida climate where the sun is the main thing to protect against.

This material is thick, it's light grey fabric with micro-holes that let the material pass air.

You can wash the cover at a laundromat when it gets dirty.

I did some research on this a few months ago. There is a weathershield HD that is like $300.00 and I think might perform better in cold wet climates where you might have the chance for mold.

Since my cover is exposed to the sun (not in the shade) it might rain a little on it but as soon as the sun comes out it completely dries thus preventing any possibility of rot.

The cover has a built in storage bag that is made from the same fabric and has a velcro strip to open and close. The bag is permanently attached to the car cover and ends up sitting on the back hood when you mount it.

The cover has a clear plastic window on the back for your license plate to show thru and has the attachment points for the cable lock. BMW also sells the cable and lock for this cover.

This cover say "BMW" on the front. Right over the hood's roundel. The BMW lettering is about 3 or 4 inches tall and doesn't pose an issue for me because I face that side in towards my home. I am saying this in reference to those whom would rather have it unmarked.

One more thing. This cover is very light and easy to put on as a consequence of being so light and the fact that the material slides over the paint so well.

I would not recommend putting this or any other cover on your car when it is dusty this could cause microscratches to occur due to wind.
