Floor Mats

[///Sniper535]

Considering the somewhat cheap alternatives, is $95 for BMW Floor mats a good price?

[Jr ///M5]

It's ok...you might check with Pacific BMW, the last time I checked they were $85....just make sure you order the "plush" type of mats.

Are aftermarket mats better than the BMW Factory ones? I bought a full set a while back, around $100 usd and thought they were fairly flimsy especially for the price.

BMW used to make a number of different types loosely described as "City" which a a standard smooth looking mat and "Country" which are a heavy duty mat ribbed mat. I have had a set of Country mats in my car since it was new and aside from a small amount of wear on the drivers side they look like new and I suspect will oulast me! If you can get a set of these they will be very hardy as well as attractive to look at.

does anyone know how well the "country" mats hold up to snow and slush?

I got the custom embroidered ones from BavAuto for the 535i

I was a bit disappointed as they dont have any sort of grip to hold them in place on the bottom and surely don't attach to the mat-locks... although they do look pretty sharp

I'm curious to know what is considered a failure regarding a floor mat.

In the USA, BMW plush carpet mats from BMW NA are made by a supplier in-country. They seem to be better than anyone's alternative sold after-market. The rubber mats from the dealer I believe are made in Germany, or at least the same as those sold world-wide as BMW parts. Plush carpet mats carry and accessory part number (82-group) and most rubber ones have a normal body-trim group 51 number. Circle BMW's web site shows a $130 list for BMW carpet mats with a sale price of $95. If you can get real "BMW" mats for $85 that's probably a good price.

Even if you look the parts up on RealOEM.com, you'll see the USA cars have a different part number than either the "city" or "country" mats you find if you select "Europe" in the vehicle selection.
