Indoor car cover

Hi guys, does anyone have this car cover?

The BMW original is 3 times that $, well over the budget for a car cover.

cheers

Yep it's perfect. I just detached the straps off it though.
Covers the car quite well. Fold mirrors in and it's even better. Will reduce dust too.

Can be machine washed too. Had it for many many years now - no scratches because I never put it on a "dirty" car, only immediately after being washed.

I use a SCA indoor car show cover that was on special for ~ $50 that is great (soft liner, perfect fit)

Like Raj I cut the straps off, and only put it on the car just after washing

I've got one of the Autotecnica outdoor car covers with the fleece underside (same as the indoor model). It is very similar to the indoor cover model but just has thicker 4 layer outer protection against the elements. It also has air vents for ventilation. I didn't need the outdoor model but got it for a great price. I use it strictly in the garage to keep dust off during the week and it seems to work well. Medium size is a near perfect fit for a 135i's dimensions. Mine tucks neatly over the front bumper and just below the exhaust pipes. Recommended.
