hahaha ..they are OEM BMW Winter Mats, BMW actually has two different ones. these are the others ones I've seen

Mine is this one, with the carpeted heel.

Just for winter use anyways, theyre coming out in a couple days.

OK....so spill it...where did you find the fabric?! I think this would look sick against extended fox red!

Slammed, that looks really, really good....exactly what I was after. I was trying to get to my guy but didnn't have a chance....can you PM me the manufacturer? I know my guy can get it.

Thanks!

I have no idea who the manufacturer is to be totally honest, my upholstery guy gets it from one of his suppliers. he told me its not cheap this stuff. Its close to $100 bux per yard (canadian funds, if that make any difference).

I paid almost $300 for my 2 pieces, its a lot of custom work and its flawless, so well worth it IMO.

$300 installed? If so, I would think that would make this a no brainer, if you have the carbon leather interior trim. I would do this in a heartbeat, but I ordered piano black with inlay.

Looks GREAT!

Well..not really! because $300 is what you have to pay the guy to wrap it. he won't remove or install the console. I had a friend of mine who works @ BMW remove the 2 consoles, I took it to my upholstery guy and he wrapped it, and I re-installed it myself!

Time to get a replacement CF i-drive knob!!

Does anyone know where to get replacement i-drive knobs??

considered it, but i want to keep it classy and I think it would look too aftermarket for my likings. The OEM silver knob is perfect on the carbon trim!

Still...$300 is a great deal! Removing and installing the trim is not a big deal.

Cheapest custom look I have come across.....Nice job!
