BMW Indoor Car Cover for E46 M3 Coupe

[bmw]

I am trying to find the correct PN for the BMW indoor car cover for the E46 M3 Coupe.

It appears BMW did not make one specifically for the M3 but also shared with the rest of the 3-series line-up. (?)

The most common PN that shows up is 82110421547 this is the form-fit cover in what appears to be a lovely shade of brown. The reason I post is because I get varying fitment when looking this up since stock seems very limited, some sites show that is for the E90 some say it will work for all E46 Coupes.

Those of you with well fitting BMW indoor covers on your E46 M3, can you please let me know the correct PN to order?

This is the one I bought from Fernan BMW (eBay seller) in Palm Harbor, FL. Price was $179.

Check it out. GL,

Also found 82111470377. Realoem lists it as compatible with 323 and 328 sedans, but FCP lists it as compatible with all E46s.

Realoem also says 82110421547 is compatible with all E46s and E9Xs, so I'm guessing 82111470377 will fit just fine on an M3.

You could try the M performance indoor car cover for the M2. Probably be the closest fit. They are not the cheapest though. 82-15-2-475-218

Big Sky car covers makes very good covers. I have two.

82111470377 is the cover I bought in 2013 (found the invoice for it). It's a reasonably good fit.

82111470377 is the outdoor car cover.
I ended up buying this because I am renovating my garage and I need to put the car outside for a while.
Unfortunately, it is pretty dumpy looking and the fit is just OK.
It does not appear BMW ever made a M-specific indoor cover for these cars. I am looking for something like this that looks good in the garage:

I will check out the M2 cover suggested above as an alternative. It seems to be along the lines of what I am looking for and it looks much better than the E46 version which is poop brown (82110421547)

Actually they did, but it was sold only in Europe. There are a few in the US.
There was a group buy back in 2002.

Yup, they were made by Bertelsmann (sp?) and are top quality. Each indoor cover included a black M-specific gym bag and M-specific steering wheel cover. Their indoor covers were definitely more premium feeling than the replica covers that followed.

Wow, that is cool. Don't seem to change hands often. I found a for sale from 6 years on another forum, asking price was $1600.

Figured I would update this thread after receiving the M2 cover

Fit is decent. The only thing that does not fit well are the mirrors. I ended up folding them in and the fit is better that way.
If the Vantage cover is 10/10 then I think this cover is a 6/10 in terms of quality. The material is thin and so light it's a bit of a pain to put on because it just falls off the car. That said it is half the price - I paid $306 shipped.
It looks kind of cheesy with "///MPERFORMANCE" across the windshield like a 90s Honda. Otherwise, my only real complaint is it makes it look like I have a M2 in my garage 😀

All I see is car's paint being marred...

That's a stupid take. Cars are washed and clean before the covers go on and the covers stay on for 6 months.
