Protects my Touring while I'm touring.

SnEeKy4LiFe · 08-03-2006, 08:54 PM

i need one for the out door. but that look hot.. how much was the car cover

findtom · 08-03-2006, 08:56 PM

I'm tempted to be a snob and have the only car in the garage in my building among far more expensive cars that is covered daily.

Asiann · 08-03-2006, 10:30 PM

The only problem with car covers is that you need to clean the car before you put the cover on. Even the slightest amount of dirt can scratch the paint regardless of what kind of material is underneath.

SnEeKy4LiFe · 08-04-2006, 12:18 AM

i always wipe the dust of my car every morning with a 100% cotton every nite and morning..

I hope it is a MF towel and not just 100% cotton. If not then go get you a 20 pack from Costco which are pretty cheap.

SnEeKy4LiFe · 08-04-2006, 01:33 AM

it not the costco type micro.. i bought mine from art who sell zaino in hawaii.. it better than the one from costco and thicker.. it a thick micro fiber and 100% cotton

Asiann · 08-04-2006, 01:40 AM

Where can you get Zaino? Art?

Dev330 · 08-04-2006, 02:07 AM

I got one from BMW, managed to work some accessories in when i purchased the car, I like it because its a perfect fit on the car and on the bonnet there is a big BMW badge

Made out of dust repellent material so that helps, sorry its such a bad pic

LEDZEP · 08-04-2006, 04:57 AM

A car cover has its purposes, but there are a couple of things to consider. If you park in a public parking area, or in a building lot, you could draw unwanted attention to your car and make it an even bigger target for mischiveous types and vandals. Also, as others mentioned - it is very important to be sure the car is very clean before putting the cover on. This becomes a huge PITA for daily use.

Personally, if I were going to buy a cover I would go with OEM. It will fit much better than an aftermarket or generic, and though I haven't seen one, I'm sure BMW covers are high quality.

Asiann · 08-04-2006, 11:47 AM

If the car is going to be outside them def suggest not going with OEM with the BMW logo on it and drawing more attention to it. With people stealing cars on the island I hope you are able to put it on the garage.

You can try AutoSport at http://www.autosportcatalog.com. They list it for the 3-series at $269 and rate it as: Best for weather protection, dust protection, soft touch, portability; fair for dign protection; good for heat protection; better (than the others they offer) for UV protection, durability, and style. It is mildew and acid rain resistant and has a 4 year warranty.

Edit: That URL is what is listed on their catalog but I tried it just now and it didn't work: The Page Cannot Be Displayed.

LEDZEP · 08-04-2006, 02:54 PM

^ Good point.

SnEeKy4LiFe · 08-04-2006, 06:38 PM

zamboni how much for your car cover?

AviD · 06-02-2007, 04:28 AM

hows the cover dudee?

sapperelite · 06-04-2007, 08:02 AM

Zamboni,
This is way off the subject but, as a hockey buff and Zamboni driver myself, have you ever heard the song "I wanna Drive the Zamboni" by the Gear Daddies? It came out in the mid-90's and is a hidden track on their album. Awesome song. Also, if Yule hasn't bought the car cover, I'd be interested in a price also.
