335i vs M3 Floor Mats?

neo_ · 08-04-2009, 12:06 AM

My car came without any floor mats. I am looking to purchase an OEM black set. Was considering picking up the M3 floor mats, but is there any difference with 335i and M3 mats like there were in the previous E46 generation? Where it simply had an M3 logo on it.

Trying to find a part number for the M3 mats but having difficulty.

neo_ · 08-04-2009, 03:23 PM

Any input?

M3 mats are faster... V8 vs L6, no contest.

Chipped 335i mats are faster than M3 mats (but only in a straight line).

Don't forget to cut the hole in the mat for the intake. Better intake = +15HP

No evidence to support this claim = no care.

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you sir.

Figure if they are the same price...

The mats are supposed to be free, I totally forgot to mention them and when I did, the SA said of course, you can have winter or summer free, your choice. I've seen people here say they've gotten both.

But if you don't get them free, I would say stay away from OEM. I threw mine in the basement because they are very cheap looking. Others have said the same but say winters are ok.

Never seen them in person but I suppose the bavautos and Macneils are good mats. The latter might source the OEM winters and trunk mats....

I was given the Rubber Floor Mats with Carpeted Heel Pad
I do not find them to be cheap looking at all.

Be sure to get the velcro anchors that screw into the carpeting. They will not damage the car[pets and they will keep the mats in place.

I strongly prefer the All-weather rubber floor mats. They just say 'BMW' on them, easiest to keep clean, most durable in my experience.

I have never actually taken my car to the BMW dealership yet, but I just stopped by to ask about this. And the SA I spoke to mentioned that I would need to speak to my original sales man.

Which is a dead end for me since I bought my car used, from a private party 400 miles away.

I asked about being able to price match online prices, and he mentioned that the most they able to do would probablly be 10%.

I figured they go for around $110 on online BMW parts sites, and my local dealer wanted $130 + Tax.

I'l probably just order the mats online along with a few other miscellaneous parts.

Anyone ever have feedback on this trunk mat?

And what online sites do you guys recommend for order OEM parts?

The oem factory mats suck. I got the coco mats and they are awesome! They are heavy though. Only order from this link since there are companies making junk copies.

I went with weathertech floorliners. They're a little on the expensive side, but I like them a lot. While they don't have the refinement of a non-rubber/plastic mat, they still look really good and fit perfectly, as advertised. I like that they almost seem like part of the floor.
