bmwe21.net forums

Well after much searching I've eventually found my new daily driver - I've just picked up a mint e21 BMW 316 which had been dry stored for the past 20yrs. Id like to ask my fellow forum members if they've had any experience with outdoor covers and if anyone could recommend any specific ones.
Unfortunately she's going to have to stay out doors and with a suspected bad winter on its way thought I'd invest in a cover to try and prevent the dreaded rust.

Any advise would be much appreciated

Id be interested on peoples opinions on car covers aswell

I'm sure coverzone do there weathershield hp cover to suit the e21 , I have one for my Porsche 930 and it is a very well made cover ,not cheap but fits well ,breathable lightweight and waterproof . Well worth a look

I need a carcover as soon as my project is done. I'll buy it here, Dutch company, but they ship worldwide. They also have outdoorcovers.

After doing quite a bit of research it looks as if the discussion will always fall into two camps - the cover camp or the alternative believing that by having no cover it will allow the car to dry out more regularly and more thoroughly. I think I'm now leaning towards the no cover philosophy.

Theres a third camp

Temporary shelter/garage this is what im looking at noe

The cover I mentioned is fully breathable ,you can put on car when wet and it will still dry giving protection and not storing dampness but as I said previously it's not cheap at approx 380 but does everything you want it to. Better than no cover at all but that is only my opinion
