Fair point. I have it down to a science on the E53 and it takes only about 5 minutes. But the big caveat in my situ is that I am 6'8" tall and my X5 is lowered 2+ inches so the task is easier for me than most I'd imagine.

How long does it take you to wrap/unwrap your X Happy?

I only use the cover on a clean car. But if you wash the car and cover it, it will stay that way for a month or more. The cover blocks pretty much all normal dirt and only allows small dust in. After a week or two of sitting under the cover I take the cover off, dust the car with a "California Duster," and put the cover back on.

Understand your situ though. It's hard seeing a beautiful roadworthy vehicle sit unused out in the elements. If it's time to let go, it's time to let go.
