Car Cover Recommendations?

I have a 2008 135i and I'm looking at putting it away for the winter. I cant store the car indoors as I have no garage space. I was looking for some car covers that are water resistant and of good quality but I can't seem to find any good reviews. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent car cover? Preferably something from the Canadian Amazon website.

BMW sells a few different ones for indoor and outdoor use. They aren't cheap though. In years past, CoverCraft was the manufacturer of the genuine BMW covers. Their website has a ton of different options at different prices points, most of which are custom fit to your car. They also make the nice folding sun shades for the windshield.

I have a CoverCraft Block-It cover for my 135i that seems to be made of identical material to the BMW-branded cover I used to have for my old E36 M3. The part number is C78003WC. I've been pretty happy with it in terms of keeping the car clean when I've had to use it. The material seems good at keeping the car isolated from weather and dust, and doesn't seem prone to adding scratches or marring.

The CoverCraft stuff looks really nice, but it seems to come at a pretty steep cost when considering Canadian shipping costs. I will see if I can acquire something similar around the 100$ CAD mark.

I just bought the bmw brand cover cost $150 but i know it fits perfect and wont scratch the car. Trust me it hurt to spend that much on a car cover but it's well worth it and fits like a glove.

I use a Covercraft Evolution for sun protection in the summer. Great look and fit but no good in the rain. Got an all weather non-fitted cover from "CoverAnything" for rain, bad weather. Light weight, stays on pretty well on windy days when you use the belly cord, totally waterproof.
