Just received the OEM car cover for e90-92-93 (code 82 15 0 397 888) and after 2 patient trials I have to say it does NOT fit.
The zipper (at the left rear corner) is not closeable whatever the amount of tissue I give to the front.
To me it is just as the wideness of the M3 is too big for that cover.
The idea to start from the windscreen with a succion device is good and the quality seems as it should be.
The leash designed to trapped in the trunk as a anti theft device makes sense.

BUT as long as the front marks for the headlight are half way on the bonnet and the rear does not fit and closes make it an useless cover.
Such a shame to explain this to the nice family member who ordered it from germany.

Anybody has something to share about this (except to say I have to change it)

never buy OEM spec car covers. The aftermarket people make way better versions. Its a shame but I would check with BMW for the exact dimensions. Seems odd that it does not fit correctly.
