Car cover for the G20?

Does anyone have a car cover for their G20? I'm looking for a cheap option and not the oem BMW car covers since it'll be used maybe once every week for a few hours if that.

I was thinking about something from Amazon that may fit but figured I'd ask if anyone has tried on from there which they'd recommend.

Thanks

If it were me I would get something custom that fits properly versus something universal.

Here's a bunch of options. I recall the oem cover is made from Noah material. Likely made by covercraft for BMW.

Thanks. The prices are pretty high from what I see here too. Is there nothing of basic quality around 50-100 dollars made for car covers? How are the amazon ones?

Alright guys, I ended up getting a cheap car cover from Amazon for like 35 bucks lol. Before you say it's look crappy, trust me I know but I'm not going to spend in the 100s for a cover that is being used for 2-3 hours tops once a week. Just tons of birds in this parking lot, so it'll do the job of keeping the car clean. It actually isn't too bad, underneath lined with soft cotton to prevent scratches too.

Anyways I'll attach pictures lol

I love white and noticed it stays looking clean for a lot longer than darker colors. But then again I have not had a non white car in over 6 years so my opinion may be flawed lol.

$35 for a cover with a cotton underside is VFM. I wouldn’t pay 100s for a car cover either.
Also, white and silver are extremely easy to keep clean. I have two white and two dark colored cars in the garage right now and the dark cars are a pain to keep clean.

My recommendation for you to use Leader Accessories Car Cover. It is made to use for both indoor and outdoor. It has air holes in the fabric to make it breathable. It is protective against dirt, dust, industrial pollutants, bird droppings, tree sap, and even from harmful UV rays. The straps and buckle at the bottom make it windproof. It ensures better fitting because of its elastic hem at the bottom.
Have a look at the detail of the car cover for more information. B00J0C8AHE

Three of my BMWs have been white. M3. 330i, and now my M340. I have known it is hard to keep clean but at night when they are clean, they look awesome!

As far as covers go I have had a ton of them. The more you spend the better they are in general, but I have had a number of cheap ones in the past for my older cars with poor paint jobs and for my truck, but the BMWs and sportscars get high end indoor or outdoor covers from Covercraft and the like.
