OK I ordered from this shop that appears to have websites only in Dutch and German www.autohoezenonline.nl

What I had delivered is a grey sedan cover in medium size which is a tight fit just over the bumpers of an E21 or E30, if you want it slightly longer go for the large version. Outside is weather resistant material, all seams are made double and covered with some kind of stuff to make sure it keeps the water out. The inside is fleece indeed, the entire cover is heavyyyy, just under 10 kilos!

To me this is perhaps not a perfect fit (its not tailered on any BMW) but it offers good protection against humidity and scratches unless the average thin cover that isn't much more than a plastic bag.

Price is EUR 82.50 for the M or EUR 84.89 for the L, add 14.50 for international shipping for most European countries (not sure about the UK though). Payment through PayPal is possible but against a slight surcharge.

They didn't reply so I'm assuming that means they won't ship to the UK.

Does anyone else have a recommendation for me please?

Well, on their site they have an international phonenumber, I suggest calling that.

Or else we should be able to work something out, like me ordening it and shipping it to you, or something like that.

A few quick pics of the paint job, hope I've posted them properly!

I was lucky enough to start with a rust free shell, so no schutz on the rear wheel wells or anywhere else it shouldn't be. The colour is Baltic blue

I bought this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252552299597? ... EBIDX%3AIT

It's a bit bigger than the measurements provided would suggest but the quality is pretty good, so far so good. I'm not sure it's really heavy duty, I've taken the view that if it lasts the winter I've done OK.
