Car covers - Which one is the best?

Post by Mike_635csi »

So I’ve had my bmw parked outside for about a month & I’ve been freaking out the whole time. The sun in South Florida is brutal & the rain is no help.

My question is, which outdoor car covers work best at protecting our cars against the weather when being left outside?

Post your suggestions!

I like Cover Craft and they have various choices. Decent price too

I have one NOT to recommend [-X

Empire (also sold as Budge) advertises with the CCA and offer 40% discounts to members, and I will admit that they do work outdoors and in rain :-?

But, the "finish" starts to flake over time, I even returned one for this reason, which was honored and replaced free of charge, but the replacement did the same thing ](*,)

Plus, they are not custom fit, but universal, so the fit is far from ideal as well [-(

The only good news about that is that I can use the one for the on our 5er as well :-k

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, will be interested in what you ultimately decide to go with, and your experience once it's in use [-o<
