Outdoor Car Cover

rikwynnpa · 05-01-2020, 08:43 PM

Anyone research the best outdoor car cover for the G29 Z4 yet? Im leaning toward a custom Sunbrella cover. Im in Philly so I need rain and snow protection plus UV protection for the soft top. Any suggestions?

car covers are a hassle. they scratch your car. I got this carport.

But if you really want a cover? Get this

rikwynnpa · 05-10-2020, 07:27 AM

Bought this when it first came out. Returned it after a week when it scratched the A pillars so badly they needed to be refinished. Blew off the car in 5 min with any wind at all. BMW obviously doesn’t test its aftermarket stuff. This thing was horrible.

Ordered a custom sunbrella cover from covercraft. I’ll post pics and feedback when I get it in June. Sunbrella makes great durable outdoor fabric for high end patio furniture. Hope it’s good.

How do you keep the carport in place when the wind is blowing?

Nice; that fabric "carport" is far superior to any cover IMO.

Amazon. Ikuby carport

staginhiding · 09-30-2020, 03:10 AM

I tried BMW here in the UK to see if they have a cover.The carport will not work for me where I live.
They tell me they have a picture but no part number.Does anyone know the BMW part number please..or a good alternative with a soft inner lining.It is for outside use.

Thanks
