balancerider 758 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 Wondering if anyone has experience with boot liner for BMW touring models. About to get a dog and something that can be hosed / scrubbed clean better than the carpet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2156 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 Have one in my 330 touring, along with the dog. Fur still goes everywhere, and gets stuck in all the linings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treone 648 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 A boot liner helps, but I found, only if your dog stays in the boot ?. As mentioned above , and depending on the dog, dog hair will get everywhere. So you may also want to consider seat covers and rubber mats. For seat covers I use/d cheap imitation leather covers in most of my cars and they are awesome - no worries about having dogs jumping over the seats. And the seats actually hold up really well. The seat covers 'ain't the prettiest' by they do the job pretty well, and it may be a trade off. For mats I use deep dish ones for front and back, I wait for the 25%-40% supercheap sales and they are great. Carpets are 'as new' and keeps dog hair away from main floor areas. I also double the back with an all in one rear rubber mats (the one that goes over the tunnel, also from supercheap). I've been using these for close to 10 years and they have helped preserve and protect my interiors, well as much as they can anyway. I did consider installing a cage/barrier in the rear but I wasn't willing to lose practicality - which is the reason why I have a wagon. Oh - and you might also want to get a protective cover for each of the rear doors. They may also suffer from an overly enthusiastic dog (my old X3 doors became well scratched pretty quickly). And last thing - scratched trims is something you may have to live with as well. Hope this helps! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balancerider 758 Report post Posted April 6, 2020 That's great thanks. Dog will be in the boot only so was thinking about something like this: https://www.hatchbag.co.uk/bmw-3-series-touring-2012-to-2019 As well as paint protective film for the rear bumper.

Cale 36 Report post Posted April 7, 2020 We've got a thing like this; https://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/dogs/kennels-crates-pens/cages-crates/listing-2589810337.htm?rsqid=1a77e3ea81a846c2bcb77260c0c5332b-001 Seems to contain the hair/dirt pretty well, and we use a towel to protect the bumper. Whatever size we have it fits nicely into the back of the E91 with the boot cover taken out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
