I need to go abroad for a month, and have to leave my 535i outdoor for this period of time. So I am looking to buy a good cover for it. Can anyone give me any suggestion or recommendation? Thank you!
I saw these on ebay. But their prices are so different. Confused...

Depends on where you are leaving the car. If safely at home, go with the OEM (around 180-200$). If you are parking in a public place, putting a generic cover ($50) might not be a bad idea so people don't really know there is a BMW parked below the cover (vs. say a camry).

Why not just drive to your nearest Public Storage facility (publicstorage.com), rent a 10x20' drive up unit on their $1 Special, pay the one time $22 fee for the paperwork and leave your car in a secure enclosed storage unit for a grand total of $23 for the month?
Car covers + wind = paint damage.

I'm going to leave it on the driveway outside the garage. "wind+cover=paint damage" that's a good point, I didn't think of that. However, I always leave my car outside for days at work. I will need a cover eventually...
So I guess the $44 one can just do the job?
