E86 coupe indoor car cover recommendation?

jamiez · Post by **jamiez** » Mon Sep 09, 2019 12:44 pm

Hi all. Am looking for an indoor car cover for my ///M coupe if anybody has tried and tested recommendations?
The garage is 100% watertight without damp - just gets very dusty.

So far have read up on this one only

Thanks.

I don't use one at all as it seems to scratch/mist up the paint over the hibernating months, no matter how clean the car or cover was. Dust gets up between and ventilation etc takes care of the minimal movements.

I just let it be, then washes it off by spring.

I use a Cosmos cover on my 89. It was reasonably priced is easy to use and store and worked well when I used over the Winter months.

Thanks. Was it a snug fit and does it cover down to the wheels also? Any side pics?

It is a snug fit and covers most of the wheels. I haven’t any side view photos because my car is a tight fit in the garage. The only other photo is from the front which I have attached.

Specialised vehicle covers. Perfect fit and a lovely material. It’s premium, but Mclaren and high end sports car companies use them.

I’ve got an indoor cover from https://www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk/acata ... tFree.html
it’s got a soft lining and comes with a bag to keep it in when not in use.

I've just purchased an indoor super soft cover from classic additions. I thought pretty reasonably priced - will take a pic tomorrow when fitted!

One thing you can do if your not keen on a full cover is buy a great big soft cloth that you just drape over the car, works and probably slightly more friendly on the paintwork.

In the end I just let it get dusty as I'm too worried about swirls

Got mine off member estoril when he sold his mc it’s thick fleece. Can’t remember the name but he gave it to me for free so I gave him £20 just to say thank you. Great cover. Will update with the name when I’m home next but remember he said it was around £200 brand new

This is my classic additions one - really pleased with the fit, and it's super soft material so no concerns with swirls either

Medium Cosmos cover on my Z4MR. Pretty good fit. Very soft and stupid cheap £36.

I’ve got the outdoor cover and it’s brilliant. Feels like a custom fit because it’s stretchy.
