I think I got mine from my dealer for 130. I was more suprised when a key cost 75 bucks and the keyless entry thing was 150. I was used to a key in a mazda costing 3 bucks hand polished at walmart.

I paid AU $280 for mats (front and rear) OEM from the $tealer. I didn't have a choice in colour, they only had black in stock, and I have a light interior. I could have chosen grey, but that would've cost me AU $450 because it would have to be sent from Germany.

Can you see why I opted for black? :P

You can take the mats out and ditch the rest!

Try ebay UK and look for breaking e34's. I'm sure someone will have what you want probably for around £20-30, i can't imagine postage being that much.

I've sent e34 stuff to Aus and Canada before because of the prices. The last thing I sold was a pair of new mud flaps to a guy in Aus, he said that buying them in the UK and paying for postage was cheaper than getting them from his local dealer.

the trouble with second hand flor mats is prolly the reason why we need new ones n the first place....i have worn a hole in my drivers sideright were my heel sits on the accellerator....might try the dealer.Mine are sorta grey,match the interior quite well nd have the little hole/clip arrangement which i guess is std.

I just picked up a set of OEM parchment mats from Circle BMW (New Jersey) via their website.

With UPS ground shipping to Arizona ($13.00) and no tax, I thought it was a good deal.
