Rubber Mats

magha · 11-19-2009, 10:36 AM

I got only the fabric mats when i picked up my 1er and am now looking for non-oem mats for the winter. have taken a look at a couple of mats at Canadian Tire and the Michelin one which is part rubber, part carpet looks good however i just wanted to know if anyone on this forum has had experience with it. I looked at the weathertech option and it's close to $150 which is the OEM price as well.

Get the BMW mats--they're gorgeous. I think I paid $125 last year and worth every penny. All rubber but very slick and they contain the water very well.

Get Weather Tech, they are a million times better than BMW floor mats. Worth every penny

Maybe quality wise, but not looks wise

But they do look okay...

I bought these as my winter ones too and the fit is great. I like how they come up around the sides to protect the carpet. Less chance of snow or mud geting under the matt. I would recommend these.

These are the only mats I will buy for my car. I have nothing but praise for WeatherTech DigitalFit mats.

Your better of buying a set of rubber mats from Dan at United BMW. I think he charges $48.00 for OEM rubber mats

I have a set of them and the driver's mat is already worn through under the gas pedal from the heel of my shoe. I have had them in the car for just under 15 months. I don't even wear shoes with sharp edges on the soles.

This is why I am going with the WeatherTech DigitalFit mats. I had them in my STi and loved them. Almost zero wear on them after having the car for 3 years.

Just installed a set of WeatherTech digital fit mats in our 135 today. They are fairly rigid and slide right into place with a perfect fit. As mentioned, the sides extend upwards for additional protection. Great mats for the upcoming snow & salt that will be in this region soon.

heard the OEMs have a 2 yr unlimited mileage warranty, alimjessa i got the same quote from Dan but do you know how much duty cdn customs would charge on it? ive asked Dan was hoping you would know if you've ordered from him before. thanks

I got a set of fronts last season for like 60 bucks from the local dealer. I was under the impression they were like $150 plus for some reason... rears were like another $30 I think.

I had a friend who didn't get them and the salt ate half his carpet!

The only thing I don't like about the original BMW rubber mats is that they cause an indent into the carpetting which becomes permanent over time. But maybe I am being a bit too anal. Haha.

Just ordered the weathertech ones. Heard a lot of good review about them. They seem like the full protection with excellent fit.
