Floor mats

Pnoym3 · 09-14-2011, 07:39 PM

Newbie here. What type of floor mats do you guys suggest? I dont want to ruin the original mats. Thanks!

MDSKIER · 09-14-2011, 07:41 PM

Why not use the original mats until they wear out then buy replacements?

gthal · 09-14-2011, 07:48 PM

Replacements are only $125 +/- from Turner. Just use them and replace them if need be.

abehwang · 09-14-2011, 08:04 PM

mats are supposed to be used

it's like saying... I don't want to ruin the M3... what else can I drive?

Pnoym3 · 09-14-2011, 08:06 PM

Never really thought about that. Well in this case that is what I will be doing. Thanks for the advice!

You can always purchase our Bimmian Replacement floor matts to use for the winter time. They are an affordable alternative to buying OEM.

what's wrong with the oem?

ES_TRADER · 09-15-2011, 05:42 PM

the problem with the carpet mats is that during rainy days, you get back in your car with wet shoes or you step on piss at the public bathroom and get in your car and wipe it all on the mats inside and sometimes produces mildew odors and such from being damp too long..whatever...anyway, there could be a million things...and if i took the mats out and sprayed them, it would take days to dry...so i just put these: http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvp...iceIds=738,821

on top..perfect fit and finish...i take it out, hose it down and its all clean...dries in minutes...collects all the dirt and grime...i even had a soda fall on it and open up and underneath the carpet was dry

I disagree. I had my M3 mats framed under glass and placed on the wall in my home office. I then got some mats from Wal-mart to put in my car.

There is no way in hell those OEM class mats would see actual use.

Between the gas you burn driving to Walmart, the cost of cheap floor mats and the time to store the OEM ones, you could have just bought another set of OEM M3 mats from Turner for the same total cost and actually had mats that look nice in the car

I'd take a picture to prove it with my Canon T2i but it's too nice to use. Maybe I'll find my wife's crappy Panasonic point and shoot and upload one later. But then I would have to put my brand new 32 gb SDHC card in the Panasonic and it might get scratched.

You'll just have to take my word.
