E34 Touring Cargo Liner

[RobK]

Hey guys. I'm attempting to find some sort of Weathertech-type cargo floor mat/liner for my '95 Touring. So far I'm striking out. Anyone have any leads on a vendor/manufacturer? I've contemplated trying one of the many available for the E39 Touring, but I figured I'd see if anyone else has traveled this road already...

Thanks!

Do you not like the mat or liner BMW made specifically for the e34 Touring (the 2nd one below (fitted liner) is on sale for $68 at Circle BMW's website):

On my '93 touring I went to the local Pic-a-Part and wandered amongst the vans - found an electrician's GM van that had the whole cargo area done in a heavy diamond plate rubber mat. Took that home and cut it to fit my rear area. Good thing is that it's plenty stout and anti slip and slide, bad thing is that it does walk a bit (toward the rear of the car, probably having to do with the "lie" of the carpet pile). The diamond plate will interrupt spills that aren't too extreme. Another thought I had was to use a desk chair floor protector made to go on carpet - the nubs on the bottom would stop it from walking, the clear color would be real discrete - bad side is it seems slippery and nothing would stop spills from going to the edge instantly. Can't really tie the protective mat down as that renders the spare tire area useless, can't really extend into the area behind the rear tires as it makes accessing the rear side wall bins difficult at best. I'm very interested to hear what you end up using and any positive and negative things you notice about it.

I paid $15, plus labor to remove, clean, figure pattern and cut, install and it sorta works - for $68 I'd prolly buy the readymade - let me know what you think of it please!

I actually tried Circle, but I couldn't find it. I suppose I could simply email them. Is the OEM mat similar to a Weathertec mat? It looks it from the ETK diagram, but I want to be sure it will hold anything a new puppy puts out!

Under category "trunk mat, rubber". Part # 82119410289 My tiny link just gets you to Circle rather than the part for some reason.
