Car Covers

Can anyone recommend a good, outdoor car cover for the 1er?

I have these disgusting little wild ferrets that crawl around on my car during the night and leave muddy footprints and light scratches all over.

Thanks much!

Having had two, I recommend the BMW cover from Tischer. I suspect this cover is made by covercraft and it's also available at autoeverything.com, but it wasn't any cheaper than Tischer, in fact more expensive the last time I checked. The BMW cover is NOAH and fits very well, dries quickly and has a nice soft fleece-like inside with a bag included.

Whatever, don't buy from carscover.com. I've posted a previous bad experience with them, their poorly designed cover sucks and so do they.

+1 on the BMW cover.
Didn't like the way they attached the bag to the cover, but easy enough to fix with a pair of scissors.

Ordered one from Tischer! I should have bought one of these much earlier... oh the joys of waking up in the morning to see muddy footprints all over my car.

True, I thought it was a weird way to store the bag, but even so I used it like that for a couple of months till it sorta of detached one of the straps itself, so I undid the other. Works perfectly well both ways, but having the bag detached lets it be stored in the boot so that the bag stays dry even if the cover is wet.

My 1-er is parked underneath the overhang of some trees and the cover is filthy now. This shot was taken when first purchased Feb this year.
