It saddens me to see my car sit in the sun all day as I work from home and my garage is occupied. And with our annual wild fires, the dust this year is worse than ever before.

I get no results on OEM genuine BMW car covers, just a bunch of generic ones on Amazon. Last thing I want is a goofy fitting cover - can anyone make a recommendation?

I am personally not a fan of car covers, especially outdoors. They flap in the breeze, grinding whatever dust/dirt/abrasives are on the vehicle into the paint (or composites/CFRP) like sandpaper. Maybe indoors, but only after washing both the car and cover.

As a Corvette owner friend put it, one can love a car to death despite good intentions.....

Yes, I would definitely wash the crap out of it before covering it.

The flapping in the breeze phenomenon is exactly why I wanted a fitting cover and not a generic one.

I prefer a cover because I feel frequent car washing is abusing the paint as well; and the touch-less ones simply don't clean the car well enough.
