It's very compact, about 1/3 the size of a standard car cover.
Generous sideview mirror caps AND a nice pocket for our roof antennae.

Great week upcoming, weather wise for some more miles before the hibernation! Thank the good Lord for global warming!

How is your baby holding up in the garage? I'm so ready for warm weather to drive her again!

Tire pressure still holding firm at 42PSI. Havent moved her since early-November :-(

it seems like these covers can only be used after a wax/wash to prevent microscratches right? what else can I do to keep dust accumulation off the car after driving?

Washing is best but if you can't, I'd recommend CG ECOSMART waterless wash.

Ive used a lot of crap over the years, but this stuff is pretty satisfying. its essentially a quick detailer on steriods, but it does work as advertised. it also keeps swirls down.

how does it compare to optimum no rinse? seems similar for a quick spray and wipe touch up? Still takes time to do the whole car..=(.

Mine is doing just fine. Better than I am, but at least I can look at it everyday sitting there under the cover. I hate the winter hibernation deal, but it is what it is. I was just thinking yesterday that I am just about half way through the four month period. I typically get it out mid March or so, as soon as we get some rain to wash off the road salt residue. Loving the lack of snow so far this winter

About a week ago I ordered a custom fit Coverking Satin Stretch cover. Should be here next week and I'll post photos. I found lots of fantastic reviews and picked mine up through JC Whitney (yeah, I know) for around $340. Indoor use only.

Hey on the east coast here. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for car covers?

[FLGator15]

I have a Frozen Black M4 which will remain in a parking garage for the majority of the winter. That being said can anyone recommend a good car cover?

Thanks in advance guys!

I like the "Noah" car cover from California Car Covers. It's custom-fit and breathable. Great for airport parking garages and long term storage.

I'll post some photos tomorrow of the Cover King I just purchased. It's a custom fit stretch fabric with a super soft inner material. Very nice cover made for interior storage only. Easy on and off. I'm super particular about my vehicles and if I thought this had any potential to scratch or mar my gorgeous BSM, it wouldn't last a minute. Highly recommend the cover.

I must be dense. Can't upload my iPhone photos because they're not the correct size.

like a glove! love it! No barrier between tires and concrete? At least pump them up +10PSI if you can.

[Maineiac]

Thanks for the comment. I do put some extra air in them during storage to avoid flat spots in the spring.

I don't see the M4 vert on their list. I believe the coupe cover would work just fine, right?

If you have a '16 try the search again and use '15 as the year... I had to do that with the F80.. They haven't updated there site to show the '16's being available yet.. F83 is probably a slightly different fit then the F82
