Who lets there dog in their e9X M's?

I just picked up a alpine white e92 and have yet to let my 6 month old golden retriever in the car. I'm scared of the leather getting scuffed up or having blond hairs all over the place. I understand this isn't a audi wagon or truck, but it would be cool to have the pup ride in the M sometime. If you have a pup and let them ride in the car do you have any sort of seat covers or anything of that kind to protect the interior?

According to Joe, you're a pleb if you let your dog inside your M3.

I get worried about my 4 year old lab when he gets near my car with my windows down or trunk open. As soon as he sees a vehicle that is open, he hops inside for some reason thinking its his own. Once I left my parents escalade door open because I needed to grab something and he hopped into the drivers seat and wouldn't move.

My dogs are too big now otherwise I would, lol. 80lb husky and a 75lb german shepherd mutt. When they were pups, I used to throw them in my 350Z and watch them play in the hatch and work their way to the passenger side.

I bought this for my dog (70 lbs Shepherd Mix): https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/52300416248/

It's pricey, but I bought a cheap dog cover for my DD and it's really annoying because it doesn't stay put. I figured I'd splurge on the M3 and get the OEM cover. It's pretty awesome.

My previous pit I did because he was a mush and would lay on the floor up at front seat. He passed and now my current one is a pain and she likes to constantly move on the seats, all nervous and never sits still. She's only allowed in the SUV in the trunk.

I have the same one for my E92. Sometimes I feel like it's too nice to even use, lol. I have a corgi and he sheds like crazy, so i essentially put a bed sheet over it when I have to transport him in my car... OCD

I had a sticky button as well due to my wife spilling a coffee on a road trip... I sprayed some glass cleaner around the button and let it soak for about 10 min and then soaked it up... Not the button works normal...

i have a 50 pound husky/shepherd mix. i just throw a beach towel over the back seat. i lay a separate towel over the door sill while my dog steps into the rear of the car to avoid scratching that area. i use leather master cleaner to wipe up the occasional drool. no big deal.

All you need is a pet hammock or a big enough comforter for like 30 bucks. Lay it down in the back and your dog will be pretty comfortable and fall asleep like a baby

I travel with my Fox Red Labrador (he's on the small side about 55 lbs) a few dozen times during the year and he loves it.


I had the BMW pet cover which was amazing, but a huge PITA to put on. I'd rather be quick with it and throw a towel on top of the seats.

The leather will get jacked up, so make sure it's covered. If it's a little dog, you can put it in a carrier.

I have the oem cover too. It's great. It covers all the surfaces in the back. The dog can't touch anything but the glass and the headliner.

I leave it in the car all the time. Kind of looks like a rear seat delete and the seatbelts still function. Not that anyone other than my pupper sits in the back anyway. I even bought some fabric velcro and fitted the cover to the sides so it looks clean and professional.

My only gripe -- The front seatback cover doesn't fit the BMW performance seat. Good thing pupper lays down and goes to sleep back there.

I use this in conjuction with the OEM seat cover and that saves my windows from "paintings"

Good looking out. My little guy is trained and knows his place. He either curls up or looks out the rear window.

To be fair, it would be a very different story if pupper went after the headliner or nosed the side windows back there.

Edit: Purchased the clip. Thanks vincE92M3.

Zeus goes for rides. It's a car. It can be cleaned or replaced. A good dog is irreplaceable.
