Lightbulb Please recommend a car cover.

Hi guys. I'm looking for a car cover for a 435 that's sitting outside here in South Florida. It's outside 100% of the time and it rains almost every day. Not for very long, but it does rain. I'd like to avoid those hard water stains SoFla water is notorious for primarily, so a material that is resistant to water is the primary concern.

I've done a fair amount of review-reading online, but it's hard to know what to trust. What better resource than people who also have the kind of car I have?

Any advice or insight is appreciated. Looking for recommendations in all price ranges, but I'd definitely like to stay under $200. And no, I don't give a shit about how it looks. It can be ugly as hell. As long as it doesn't scratch my paint and can keep out (or try to keep out) most of this rain water, I'll be satisfied.

Thanks, all!

Covercraft Evolution or Noah fabric. OEM BMW cover is Covercraft Noah.

Evolution is a bit better holding up to intense sun/UV and also provides better ding protection.

Be sure to get a cover with mirror pockets. Helps so the cover doesn't easily blow away in wind.
