Car cover for the G20?

premier3is · 11-09-2019, 01:41 PM

Does anyone have a car cover for their G20? I'm looking for a cheap option and not the oem BMW car covers since it'll be used maybe once every week for a few hours if that.

I was thinking about something from Amazon that may fit but figured I'd ask if anyone has tried on from there which they'd recommend.

Thanks

If it were me I would get something custom that fits properly versus something universal.

Here's a bunch of options. I recall the oem cover is made from Noah material. Likely made by covercraft for BMW.

When I last checked there was not one available from BMW...... I want one too.

Thanks. The prices are pretty high from what I see here too. Is there nothing of basic quality around 50-100 dollars made for car covers? How are the amazon ones?

premier3is · 11-16-2019, 06:40 PM

Alright guys, I ended up getting a cheap car cover from Amazon for like 35 bucks lol. Before you say it's look crappy, trust me I know but I'm not going to spend in the 100s for a cover that is being used for 2-3 hours tops once a week. Just tons of birds in this parking lot, so it'll do the job of keeping the car clean. It actually isn't too bad, underneath lined with soft cotton to prevent scratches too.

Anyways I'll attach pictures lol

EXE46 · 11-16-2019, 06:49 PM

Congrats, the white definitely is hard to stay clean so the cover will help. I will not do white again.

I love white and noticed it stays looking clean for a lot longer than darker colors. But then again I have not had a non white car in over 6 years so my opinion may be flawed lol.

And it doesn't rain in Cali lol. We still have rains here even this time of year.

$35 for a cover with a cotton underside is VFM. I wouldn’t pay 100s for a car cover either.
Also, white and silver are extremely easy to keep clean. I have two white and two dark colored cars in the garage right now and the dark cars are a pain to keep clean.

CyclingBroStyle · 04-01-2020, 12:05 PM

Gonna revive this thread. Any recommendation for a decent quality car cover for inside garage? Price point 100 - 200 dollars.

Three of my BMWs have been white. M3. 330i, and now my M340. I have known it is hard to keep clean but at night when they are clean, they look awesome!

As far as covers go I have had a ton of them. The more you spend the better they are in general, but I have had a number of cheap ones in the past for my older cars with poor paint jobs and for my truck, but the BMWs and sportscars get high end indoor or outdoor covers from Covercraft and the like.

Looking to buy one with waterproof protection since I tend to leave the car outdoors for several days a week. Any recommendations? Links above seem to be expired.

I use sealskincovers.com my car stays covered most of the winter in New England as I don't drive it. I have been very happy with the quality..

dudley@07726 · 04-12-2024, 08:06 AM

I always used custom cut Covercraft covers. I had ones for outside and strictly inside.
