Waterproof car cover

Hey how you guys doing?

I will be garage"less" for the next couple of months. I'm looking for a car cover that can protect my X from getting wet. I keep my truck waxed and I just hate it when my 3 hours just goes to waste because of rain. I bought one from Pepboys for now that's suppose to be waterproof but when I sprinkled some water ontop of it and it still seeped through the fabric. Ehh atleast I can keep my X dust free for now. Let me know if you guys know of one that can keep this X dry during heavy rain. Thanks!

I put a quality cover on my 7 series and it chaffed the paint because the wind moves the cover .

If u want waterproof then get a tarp big enough to cover the x fully. Then buy a genuine BMW cover and put that over it and use a bungee cord to hook on the two side holes. That will run u about 280.00. Every other car cover is most likely crap that costs under 100

I purchased a cover for my E class, it was $300. Even though it has the Mercedes logo and name stitched into it, I believe it is one of those Noah ones. It does keep it dry. I put it on in an emergency with hail about to fall and it kept the body safe and dry though about 15 minutes of rain. I took it off 2 hours later and the body was still dry. I would love to get one for the X as well, but good luck getting my wife to use it
