The Bavarian Autosport covers are good.
They used to have a lifetime warranty on their ultimate covers that I have redeemed a couple of times over the years.

I second the bav auto ones. They are somewhat reversable for the 02 so makes life easy trying to put one on.

My cover is starting to shred after several years of CA sun so I stumbled upon this thread on my hunt. 

 

Bavarian Autosport is out of business.  sadly. 

 

Cover Craft no longer offers custom covers for the 2002's (they have different styles since I last ordered from them 5 years ago. The Silverguard Plus is no longer an option). 

 

California car covers don't have pockets for the mirrors, and range from $175-$450. 

The Noah model is $236 +tax and shipping. 

 

I'm curious if anybody found another option out there with mirror pockets.  

I need UV, dust and Rain protection.

I was given a Beverly Hills Motoring 320i cover and it's going on year 12. Pretty nice and they make 2002 patterns. (4) different covers 2 inside, 2 outside I am using the flannel cover mine lives inside.

I have used Cal Covers for all my cars and I have been very satisfied.  They fit perfectly.  I bought a superweave outdoor and an indoor cover for my 2002 and while they do not have mirror pockets, I find the cover fits perfectly.  In my opinion covers that dont have mirror pockets fit a just a bit looser which makes the cover easier to take off and put on.  Also a looser cover wont scratch your paint.  One of the downfalls of any cover is the possibility of putting small scratches in the paint.

How well do these fit cars with front spoilers and flares. ?

They are made to fit the car in stock form.  If you call them they will work with you for any mods to the stock pattern that you need.  I did that for one of my covers.

There is a great variety of car covers on the market today. I recommend that you read each cover's description to choose the one that is perfect for you.
