This is the make I have for my Z, works a treat. Just make sure the car is clean before covering it :thumbsup:

I would strongly suggest a good coat of wax rather than a cover. It ruined my Toyota Supra with retaining moisture during winter months. Eventually had to have the bonnet and roof resprayed. Stormforce do not breathe as they say they do.

+1 :thumbsup: Long term a cover will do more harm than good. Regular TLC and wax/sealant is much 'healthier' for the car.
 
Thanks for the responses. I needed a cover to protect the car between regular use, not only as weather protection, but also, as it is parked on a drive over hung with trees and shrubs, from nature's debris such as berries, leaves, broken branches as well as bird crap. I know that long term coverage can create condensation issues, but regular use would negate that, so I was looking for a cover that was breathable and gentle on the paintwork, which I keep Autoglym waxed. However, I ended up re-organising my garage and have now put the Z4M away for the winter, at the same time buying a 2009 M3 E92 for winter use.
 
Was going to say that a cover in Summer is great, it was Winter that wrecked my car and not moving for 3 months at a time.

When I pulled the cover back, I couldn't believe how wet it was underneath and living in that damp environment killed the paint eventually after 3 years or so.

Nice choice of cars with the E92 M3.
