Pet Barrier Recommendations
There's a few on Amazon I have looked at that looks like they would work. Looks like I would need to open the moon roof cover and push the bars up to the glass, then just not open the glass when using this: http://www.amazon.com/Guardian-Vehic...ef_=pd_ybh_a_4 I am also looking at several protective covers that would cover the entire rear area. I need to get some measurements, because it looks like a lot of them won't be long enough to cover the area with the back seats folded down.

We use a Kurgo Hammock in my wifes JSW and he just stays in the backseat that way - I think they sell barriers too - my dog doesnt try to get up front but if yours is nervous you might need more than the hammock

I bought it when we thought (correctly) that our new rescue was going to try to get into the back seat when transported. He did, but not for long. The barrier functioned but was unstable. Then, he turned out to sort of figure out his 'place' in the pack after some obedience training. He listened to us when we told him no. Now he doesn't even try. Not every dog is like this, I know. I may want another barrier with another dog. But it won't be this barrier.

Did the barrier fit the dimensions and work as advertised? If you do have all of it and want to get rid of it, I would be glad to buy it from you.
This my 3rd GSD, and so far, she hasn't been as well behaved as the others were (probably mostly my fault). At 2, she is still acts very much like a puppy. They always stay hyper and playful most of their lives, but this one needs to be reminded over and over what to do and not to do and can be somewhat defiant at times. She hasn't been in this car yet, but I know she would constantly try to get up front with me, at least for a while.

^ That one is a barrier to keep them in the cargo area behind the back seat. I have seen some aftermarket ones like this also, but I want a barrier right behind the front seats.

Here's an image of the e53's parcel net: Sadly, BMW didn't include this 2 location parcel net as standard equipment like it did in my 99 540iT. The e39 Touring also had a built in holder for the rear cargo cover (that also included the parcel net in the same cassette) on the front edge of the rear seats. So if you were out & about and picked up something that required the entire cargo & rear seat area...you had an easy place to store the cargo cover/parcel net. The images below are the e39 Touring parcel net...but the e53 net can be used behind the front seats just like the e39's: {e39 Touring's parcel net anchored in its forward location & storage hooks} {sadly BMW did NOT provide this convenience for the e53}

Well, they must have had something like this in mind for the E53 (maybe as an option) - my 2005 has the four roof/ceiling mount points for this cargo net - two right behind the front seat and another two right behind the rear seats.
Decoding the VIN indicates that the cargo net option WAS ordered for my X5 when new but it wasn't in the car when I got it.

My 4.8 has the OEM net and built-in attachment points.
Last weekend I used the net in the rear position (dogs on board) but haven't yet tried it the forward location. It's certainly not as user friendly as my E39 Touring net installation, which was an excellent system.

I don't think I have all the parts. I wouldnt take money for it anyway. It was barely worth what I paid for it.
