Hubcaps Plus BMW Z3 Premium Fitted Car Cover with Storage Bag

If you just want a quick inexpensive car cover to throw over your Z3 this one fits the bill. In my case I need a quick solution to a torn rear window (in addition to the duck tape of course) now the frost and rain is starting at least until I can get around to fitting a new window. Can't beat the price. When I looked, everything else was 3 times or more what this cost. Just don't take the word "fitted" too seriously and overlook the statement "since the storage bag is oversized there will be no more struggling, trying to fold your cover just so in order to fit it back into the bag!"Ok, it's a bit baggy but it is elasticated at both ends and so is technically "fitted" end to end. There are no actual fitting instructions and the no indication as to which end is which but it is light and easy for one person to put on the car in calm weather. One end has a draw string in addition to the elastication. The other end has a plastic grommet. There is a similar grommet on each side. Since the side grommets are closer to the draw string end I have decided that the drawstring is the back. The grommets are mounted on a patch of double material so that's good. Since it's baggy it fits over the rear view mirrors and non-retractable antenna. However it does flex the antenna. My cover came with a 2 inch self-adhesive circle of similar fabric that I assume is to make a reinforced area if you want the antenna sticking through but there are no instructions to that end so. I ended up sticking the patch on an burning a 1/2 inch hole in the middle of it to stick the antenna through.The fabric is fairly thin and is somewhat like those disposable painters overalls except in grey. You can see the car underneath it at night when you shine a light on it - very exciting... but the overall visual effect is something like a giant grey shower cap - so perhaps a bit less exciting. Probably the cover is more suited as a inside dust cover than a weather protector but it should provide some temporary protection so long as it's not too windy. I just put the cover on the car today so I cannot yet comment on how temporary the protection actually is. Storm due this weekend so I could know then. (Update: it frosted one night, rained the next with a light breeze and so far so good.)The plastic coated steel cable is a generous length for its purpose. One end has a swaged loop which is also plastic coated. The other end has a swaged small bare metal eyelet with sharp corners. I put some shrink wrap on mine but that made it a bigger and so harder to thread through the grommet. You are supposed to thread the eyelet end though one side grommet then through the end loop to secure the cable to that side then thread it under the car and secure it in a similar way to the grommet on the other side with the lock. There are some instructions on this. The cable is a bit thin so threading it across under the car takes a few tries.The lock is a nice brass luggage lock that has some sharp corners so not really what you would want to use here but its probably fine unless the weather gets windy enough to blow it around. I wrapped it with a piece of duck tape for now until is can find a better solution. Mine came with three tiny keys and was packed with some particularly smelly oil lubricant. I would get that part out of the house as soon as you receive it.There is also a mysterious length of cord that has no obvious purpose although you might use it to secure the end grommet to something.The storage bag I got fit the vacuum packed cover just great but there is almost no way I can see you getting the cover back into the bag once its been used. The bag would need to be at least twice the size. I think there is "no more struggling" because you just wouldn't bother trying. On the plus side the bag is big enough you could put it over your head if you were embarrassed to be seen with a car that is wearing a giant grey shower cap.The vacuum packing is interesting. There is a small sticker that says to use plastic knife to open the package. I found a better way was to lift a fold in the plastic bag that you can see through and make a small snip in it with some scissors. That lets the air in and after that it loose so you can easily cut off the top of the plastic bag with scissors without fear of cutting the cover.Update: After 6 months outside this cover had disintegrated so don't expect much longevity if it's used outdoors and I'm docking it a star. I ordered a new one and it was a much tighter (perhaps better) fit for the Z3. It seems the lock and cable are not longer included.

Bought as an overcover for my S54 Roadster garage queen. Loose but close fit. Better than being too small or tight as this cover has a coarse lining. I would not use this cover on a car with very nice paint except in an emergency like getting caught in a sandstorm. I plan on having a Dustop Covercraft on the car and this over the Covercraft for added protection in my garage. Plus I will have thick microfiber blankets laying on hood and trunk under the Covercraft for any accidental dropsies. Again the cover is truly worth $24 but be careful of its lining.

Would not say it is a "fitted" for car specific but it does the job for a car that will remain indoors for storage. Not super thick and a bit large for my car but I like it. Just enough to keep dust off and for the price I was not expecting the fit of a $300 cover. If you want your car covered indoors and leave it for months I would say get this one, if it gets "messed" up for the price you can buy another one easily enough. It was worth it

Seems to be the same BMW Z3 car cover I bought for twice as much five or six years ago. Clearly a very good deal - useful and durable (though without some of the markings imprinted on the more costly mainstream version of the same thing). Was glad I bought it.

I like this car cover for its dust & dirt resistance but its water resistance/repellence could be better. In a heavy rain, this thing get soaked which is not the type of cover I was looking for. Ended up going with a CoverCraft which is a lot more but I guess you get what you pay for. Overall, if you are looking for just general paint protection inside a parking deck or garage, this should be fine. Would not recommend for outside storage though.

easy to use

Yes this is a lite cover which is what I wanted! If you plan on using as an outside cover everyday this is not the cover for you. For $25.00 it is a great lite, easy to handle cover. Again if you want a everyday outside cover I would spend $100.00 plus to get a heavy hard to handle cover.

Fit my BMW Z3 well. I didn't find an antenna patch so I just removed the antenna for winter storage. The car will be stored in a garage so I can't speak about being any kind of weather proof.
