Non-BMW car cover

My 135i will arrive sometime next month. It will primarily only be driven on weekends and the occasional late night jaunt. My current vehicle is black and when it sits outside for 3-5 days undriven it collects a nice coating of pollen, soot and debris from Southern California.

I'm thinking a good car cover is an easy way to fix this little problem, however the ones offered by BMW are upwards of $300. Does anyone have another (preferably a close fit for the 135i) that they are fond of?

Other suggestions?

Thanks!

Here is a link to California Car Covers:

I have always used the Noah fabric and never been let down when I have to leave any of my cars outside in the past. I have one sitting at home waiting for my 135i to get here.

Oh, and just a friendly reminder to use the search function here since this has been discussed a few times already.

https://www.bigskycarcovers.com/ get the custom fit Evolution, 4 layers. I've had it on my car almost a month now and it works great. My car is parked outside. It was under $200 i think it was 179 shipped maybe less?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I got the satin car cover from BMW. Actually it's really made for a 3, but fits the 1 reasonably well. It is only for indoor use though. Works well and no scratchy scratchy.

Katera - how much did the BMW cover set you back if you don't mind me asking?

I'm pricing indoor garage covers.

The BMW indoor cover is great. a nice thick, stretchy material. Problem is the price - almost $300. But worth it to protect a car I will keep for a decade or more.
