Show your M5 with dog pictures

[FilmSpiel]

Hi my name is Alex, i´m 29 and live in Munich, Bavaria.

Right now, i´m driving a Mini Cooper S, BMW E46 LCI convertible and a BMW LCI X5 40d.

The reason for my new thread is, i´m living between Munich (BMW Welt is 10 min) and Garching (BMW M is 5 min), and i can´t wait any longer untill i will be a BMW M owner.
I´m lurkin for one, since i´m a kid.

At this point, i have to find some good pro´s that a M car is even as dd pracitbel. so i need arguments for my wife, to get her on the dark side

Sometimes, it should be a dog hauler aswell.

This is our Family dog, named Leica, a 9 months old german shepheard.

I´m happy to (hopefully) see some nice shoots from M5 & your Dogs

Something went wrong with the pic, it didnt do justice to this beautiful dog

Apologies for frustrating your wishes but given an M5's high quality leather upholstery, fine finishes, soft, shaped rear seat and lack of attachments for restraints, I would have thought it would make a very impractical dog hauler. As a minimum it would need to have lots of protection for the seats, restraints threaded through from the trunk and would need vacuuming pretty regularly. My sister's car is a regular dog hauler and it always smells of damp dog and has loads of scratches where they climb in and out.

Just my opinion, but wouldn't a station wagon be a much better vehicle for such a large dog? Large loading door, solid, flat floor that's not sensitive to claws and easy to protect with a trunk liner, loads of anchor points for safety restraints and no dog hair in the passenger compartment?

Hi Steve, at this time i dont have some real alternatives.
1. BMW 550xd -> got a diesel today, i miss the Sound badly
2. BMW X5M -> not really a sportscar in my opinion, besides M3 or M5 + fuel consumption is very high
3. Mercedes E63 Station wagon -> right now, to expensive

Magnus and his sister Matilda playing on the beach. From there they proceeded to ride home in the back seat of the M5. Thankfully had a seat cover on but there is still a lot of cleaning to be done.

I don't even let kids near my car, let alone pets.
