I would much rather buy a shit car if I lived in a sketchy area.

Areas with trees are sketchy? Most of the really sketchy areas I know have very few trees.

Just don't park under trees.

Thats a great looking car cover, looks too tight, I also believe is a matter of time until BMW makes the proper one for the M4.
My car "sleeps" in a closed garage, so I only use it when I travel.
I made a custom cover myself with spandex or lycra type fabric for my former X6M and it does the job.

He never said his area was sketchy. Im assuming he just does not have a garage (maybe lives in apartment or condo complex) and wants to try and protect the paint as much as possible. Maybe from leaves getting all in the cracks or pine needles or dust pollen or a number of outside elements. Or maybe his area is sketchy

I guess we can argue about anything on the internet.

It's my god given right to protect the paint of my 80k car

I've talked to several dealers and they say "sure we have it", only to find out it's the future cover, not the correct fit for M4. They all said "...it will work"... for $400.

Looks like I'll be sourcing a non-oem for now.

milpar34 · 10-07-2014, 01:02 PM

I can't find one anywhere. Just talked to the parts guy at my local dealershipship and he said the new catalogue will be out in December but most of the new items won't probably be available right away.

Checked bavauto and some other sites but can't find one specific to the new M3. Anyone find anything?

Gstone · 10-08-2014, 12:25 PM

I wanted to cover my car in my garage. I got a 4-series cover from Empire covers. It fits very well(M4), easy on and off. I wouldn't necessarily use it outdoors. Also, there is now a discount code at checkout: ECFLASH.

Good luck.

Thanks. Definitely need an outdoor cover that can withstand the elements. Will keep looking.

pigwet · 10-16-2014, 09:09 AM

Any updates to this? Does anyone make a cover specific to the M3? The turner doesn't seem specific or perhaps it doesn't need to be.

Andrew115 · 10-16-2014, 09:17 AM

f30's should fit but be snug which is good to stop wind from blowing it all over the car.

Gstone · 10-16-2014, 10:09 AM

I'm very happy with my indoor cover from Empirecovers. It is a 4-series cover and fits the M4 nicely. Easy to put on and off.

redfox · 10-30-2014, 10:56 AM

What about this brand?

Let us know if you guys find anything suitable. Need an outdoor cover also until the BMW ones are released next year

335iIrish · 11-02-2014, 05:22 PM

Anyone know if a 2014/15 3 series sedan cover from BMW will fit the 2015 M3? Might be a squeeze but wondering if anyone has tried.

Ugh, is it really not going to be released until next year?

Unfortunately, F80 cover will not be available until 1st or 2nd quarter of 2015.

My dealer wants 475 for that cover. Is it all weather proof and will it fully fit my F80 M3? For this much money I expect it to be doing all of that and since you have that cover I was wondering

That look way too tight.

slynchRVA · 03-11-2015, 11:45 AM

Bump. Has anyone found a good car cover that is designed specifically for the F8x? It looks like California Car Cover has F8x patterns now, I'm just curious if anyone has ordered one yet.

Yes. Ordered California Car Cover for my F80. Fits great. Took them about two weeks to make and ship it. Will post pic over the next day or so.
