Car Cover

Stuttgart 235 · 09-12-2015, 11:09 AM

I tried doing a search but couldn't find any on car covers. I guess most of you have a garage. Just wanted to see what a good type and brand of car cover you'd recommend. I asked my dealer and he said they don't carry or sell car covers. It was odd but I guess it's more business for them. Any help on the material, website or anything is appreciated.

Recall a thread about 235 car covers.
Go to the BMW Accessories portion of your countries BMW site and look for a 235 cover.
Then compare that cover to the cover sold on the USA BMW site.

I have the BMW Accessories car cover and it is very good. If you plan on using a cover for snow protection then that can be an issue for any material used for a cover if the cover needs to be removed with compacted snow or any degree of ice.
Also if you need a cover for any degree of door ding protection then a KimberlyClark multi-layer cover ( 4 layer ) is a good choice.

As far as rain, sun and environmental fall-out the BMW cover is excellent.

Contact California car company to see if a 135i cover will fit the 2. If so I will sell you mine since I no longer need it!

It's the best one they make and will send you more info if it fits.

Otherwise, that company makes the best covers so check them out

Thanks for the information and sorry for the delayed response. I'll check on the website and see what they have or if a 135 cover will fit. Actually got delivery today but drove it home in the rain.

+1 for California Car Cover. I went with the Noah model: http://www.calcarcover.com/c_carcove...Car%20Cover/1/

Free shipping over $199 as well.

Edit: I just realized you were in Germany. I'm not sure if they do international shipping, but if you want the best cover, I would go with them if possible.

Looked at the website for the Superweave. Need to see if they ship to APO. Fall is coming, leaves and other crap are falling like crazy.

BMW has a car cover. Your local dealer can likely get it. I looked it up for my 2 Friday. Hit me up if they're not helpful, Jason@turnermotorsport.com.
