I'd recline the front passenger seat and put a moving blanket down. There is no way to protect your dog if you are in an accident. Just don't have one!

That is amazing :rofl:

 

the fact of the matter is that if you are in a front end accident of any significance, that dog will likely go through the windshield. People what drive vehicles with the cages are really only preventing the dog from going into the windshield (through), they are still going to hit that grill with pretty significant force. In anything where you traveling 50'ish at one moment, and 0 the next, the dog is pretty screwed. It is a reality those of use with dogs have to face (or live in denial since that is easier).

My dog(s) doesn't ride in my e46, they are restricted to the Xterra only and I do have the grill thing to keep them from trying to drive. My 115lb brown lab is convinced he can drive better than me, and without the barricade he is always trying to get up there and take the wheel away.

I don't know what options there are for our coupes. There are things like this ive seen, but I think they only really protect your seats. This might help, but I doubt it would do anything for collisions

 

That's a beautiful animal!

 

There are many versions of dog seat belts online. Mostly a harness that hooks to the safety system

 

Brown Dogs (Chocolate Labs) have quite the attitude and do not like to be told NO!

I had a Brown Dog before I had my Fox Red Lab and the Brown Dog always wanted to be in charge!

Most dogs will probably hate the seat belt harnesses, but it may be the only thing to limit, reduce the secondary impact that may occur in case of an accident.

 

I don't get the question. Put the dog into the car and hit the gas. The dog will sit where you let him/her. If you want the dog in the back seat, then make it sit there. The best way to travel is to stop on an interval that suits his/her bladder.

My dog goes with me all of the time. This is a COMPLETE non-issue.

 

The dog is the alpha, that's a problem. In my car, the alpha is me. This is a complete non-issue when the right "person" is in charge.

 

If you have a bull dog riding with you and you slam on the brakes.
He's going to hit the windshield face first
And......it won't matter

 

you can't drive with the big dogs

 

Just get a seatbelt harness and throw a blanket over your seats.

 

A long time ago, my lab was riding in the back seat, facing forward. I had to slam on the brakes, he flew over the seat and banged his snout on the stereo, popped in the tape and Whitesnake started crankin!!
True story. 1987 Town Car.

 

Pro tip: don't leave your dog in the car.

It's also dangerous for the dog.

 

mg:

 

Get a seat belt harness for your dog! JD, my 90lb pit/lab mix, wanted to stand on the console so he could be near me and see out. Got the harness and now he stands tall in the seat looking at everything!

Your chewed up gear shifter looks like something JD did to one of our dining room chairs. Luckily, he's only gotten into chewing gum whenever he's been left alone in my car (which I never allow for more than a minute or two).

 

When a kennel on the trunk

is not an option like on our E46 only a few solutions are feasible

You can either go for a seat belt harness as mentioned before
BTW there is an oem BMW...
Or you could try a soft crate also fastened with the seat belts

Here are some pics, hope this helps

 

That cylinder shaped one looks great! But it might be hard for the OP's coupe. Hmm. A coupe is hard with a 90lbs dog. I would say a front passenger seat harness would be the best/safest solution. He will just have to get used to it
