Been away this week, took the Audi, so not touched the Z at all, My garage is a detached building from the main house and as such gets quite cold in winter. I've got a BMW indoor cover on the car, went down to the garage today, took the cover off and there was a lot of moisture held between the cover and the car, decided to leave the cover off until the freezing weather is over, im not sure moisture being trapped is a good thing.

Anyone got any comments on this, should it be ok with the cover on, or best leaving off?
 
I don't get moisture at all, Infact non existent really, I think the key is air flow.

yeah, theres a bit of a gap under garage door, (few mm) but nothing at the back end of the garage, perhaps i ought to address that and put a few air bricks in or something.
 
Is the cover breathable , if not any moisture can't escape . It's the same as 100% water proof outdoor covers that
are not breathable no good at all . For what it's worth I have used a Hamilton Classics indoor cover for years which if any slight moisture is present when really cold soon dries .You don't want moisture staying on the paint for long periods.
 
thats exactly what i thought. dont know much about the cover, if its an official BMW one, blue with like a fleecy lining, it didnt feel damp, a couple of patches here and there. When i took the cover off though, there were droplets on the A pillars and the windows were steamed up on the outside. I think i'll keep it on when its not "condensation weather". i dont think holding moisture against the paint is going to do it any favours whatsoever if im only looking at the car every few weeks during the winter period.
