I am going to buy a cover for my baby. What would you recommend? The BMW covered offered on the bmwusa.com site or another brand?
I have an Evolution 4 for my Boxster and like it. Should I buy another for the 530?

If the car is FRESHLY washed, then its ok but more often than not, there are fine sand particles on the surface of the car's paint which will leave fine scratches on the paint finish when you put the cover on..
Had that once and never used car covers again...

Be VERY careful of putting any cover on a dusty/dirty car. Also, on a wet one. I can't imagine bothering with one, unelss it was a long-term storage last option.
You'll get any appreciation for wrestling out of your syetem by the time you are done.
Cheers,
Ray Hull
