I need a car cover for the 5er. It will be in the garage most of the winter and I want a cover to
keep the dust off after a nice cleaning. I'm leaning toward a custom fit cover from Griot's
Garage. Flannel lined, breathable, and not for the outdoors. A little pricy so I'd like to shop
around first.
Anyone have experience with a high quality alternative (Roundel Logo a plus)?

It's an outdoor cover. But it's better for use in Garages. It has two air outlets for wind that is going under it, a rubber band around the fronts bottom and strings for the sides. You pull them from the rear left and tie them up. A zipper in the rear left, the only one, and a piece that you put in the trunk before you lock the trunk, so that it can't get stolen or blown away by the wind. The back has a clear plastic insert, so that you can see the license plate. On the Hood there is a big BMW roundel. It is washable, easy to instal (in about one minute) and - of course - fits perfect. Iused it every day in the summer time, since there were too many birds in the trees around, and it even protected the interior from the sun. It didn't really heated up under the cover.

Might suit and it helps keep humidity out as well.
