The sheer driving pleasure of a BMW is not exclusive to drivers.
Furry passengers can now enjoy the BMW dDrive dog basket, which comes
with an in-built fan so pets can experience the exhilaration of the
open road from the safety of their basket.
The basket is the perfect gift for dogs who love the thrill of
driving but sometimes get a little too close to the edge of the window
for comfort. The revolutionary carbon fibre, TwinPower Turbo fan sets
a new standard in efficiency, whilst three power modes (ECO PRO,
COMFORT and SPORT) to alter speed guarantee a fully customisable
experience. Upholstered in luxurious Nappa leather, even the colour
and finish of your BMW dDrive model can be personalised to match the
unique style of your dog.
Jack Russell, Head of Product Fabrication, says: “We want
everyone to be able to enjoy the sheer driving pleasure of a BMW and
so we have taken our innovations in mobility solutions using carbon
fibre and TwinPower Turbo technology to provide a product for a
brand-new audience. Owners can also feel safe in the knowledge that
their canine friends are enjoying the thrill of driving in a BMW
without any potential mishaps or damage to the back seats.”
