OEM numbers and dealer pricing. BUT they weren't any cheaper from oemparts

very cute doggies! My pup (well, 8yrs old) just rides in the backseat. He does not claw up the leather and does not shed, and he likes surfing out the window. (only at low speeds though with the window partially up so he does not fall out)

The shades seem to help when the little monster is in the back.

Thanks for the compliments on my slobbery mess of a Rottweiler. He usually rides in the cargo area but occasionally gets to ride in the back seat but only with a hammock style seat protector.

The rear sunshades are very cool. I've been wanting them for a while but they're kind of pricey. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a deal.

pricey? they aren't even $150. look for a bmw club in your area to join. most get atleast 10% off with purchases. pays for the annual fee in no time.

Took me a while to find it, but here is an item from a 2003/4 X5 accessories BMW UK catalog. Would be an interesting option.

Would love to find one of these cages if anyone ever wants to get rid of one

Here: ORIGINAL BMW X5 E53 KOFFERRAUM TRENNGITTER NETZ GITTER | eBay ships to US also.
for € 125 + € 30 = € 155 = $ 224

Not sure if that is cheap enough but if you keep looking in ebay.de for "X5 E53 Gepäcknetz" you might find a cheaper one.

Good luck

Cool! This will work together with the cargo cover right? not like one or the other?

thanks again!
