The M3 + Pet Thread

[shibui]

I think we may have had a thread going on the old forum like this. Basically, post pictures of your pets (dogs, cats, fish, etc.) in/with your M3 😄

I do realize as our cars are becoming older and more of a classic vehicle more and more owners may be hesitant to let their fur friends ride shotgun though.

Here's a pic of my old girl from a few years ago before she passed away (she'd be 17 this year):



She was the sweetest girl. Loved napping and belly rubs. Had no idea what breed she was!

This is Mesa. She's a whole hell of a lot bigger now. A Rhodesian Ridgeback we got right about the time this forum came back to life.

This is her house, I just live in it.

Noam was helping me order breakfast near Omaha this morning.

Very cool, I love cats, mine hasn't been in the M3 yet though! Omaha is about 50miles from me, just saw Tool play there Saturday.

Here's my best pet M3 photo (Dakota, had her 16yr's):

adopted an older pitt with bad knees and car anxiety so the M3 is never an option for her (she only rides around in the larger family vehicles)

Love big dogs with long snouts and floppy ears. Cats are cool too need me a scottish fold.

This was where Noam spent most of the 1500-mile drive back to Wyoming.

Today I clean the car out, vacuum, and get it washed.

How does he do in the car? Start yowling at first and then calm down, or just chill from start to finish?

Every cat I've had doesn't care for the car at all, here they are in their favorite spot in your house next thing they know your taking them into a brand new environment that happens to be moving, cats generally don't like the car in my experience.

I tried to keep him in the carrier the first part of the trip, butbue was NOT happy and yowled a ton, tried to claw out of it. Then the sedative from the vet kicked in after an hour and a half and he calmed down. Started up again after the sedative wore off.

Next day I gave him the sedative and started in the carrier and he was not happy again. Two-hour later he's still yowling, so a I let him out and he took up residence on my clothes and in the box in the back seat. Relatively quiet though he'd startle from napping and yowl a few times like he was confused where he was.

Eventually he stopped and didn't make much noise the last 6 hours or so.

This is the reason why I have had multiple SUV's.

Thankfully or painfully, all BMW ones. He's so far wrecked my 05 4.8iS (brought him home in that, threw up all over the back seats in 20 mins of being in the car), my 10 X3 6MT (was probably the best car for him but he barely fit in the hatch) and now our personal favorite, the 04 6MT X5.

This is Waffles.



Next up is Puki



Lastly is Mila



None of these animals have ever been in the M3 and they all hate it because it's stupid loud.

I did my part.

My buddy and the car bed he rides in, removed for track time. Getting that damn thing in and out of the M3 is a ridiculous exercise with the fixed back seats. Plus a bonus picture of him on his favorite couch

Thanks dogg! Love the floppy eared dogs too. I actually like all dogs.

Here is her much bigger brother. He's a brick shithouse.

We lost our dog last year. I was wrecked… Man, waffles is handsome ay eff. Healthy? Would you recommend this breeder?

Man good on you for adopting an older dog. Especially a pit. They are incredible dogs with a bad rap that's slowly changing.

Before the 2 we have now, we lost 2 dogs on the same day. They were both super old, fragile and failing, and tied at the hip. Because of how attached they were to each other, our vet highly recommend we put them down at the same time. Hardest damn thing I've ever gone thru...
