Dear All what kind and make of car mats you guys recommend for a Bmw E91 2006?

[Digitalize]

BMW ones.

[Benskett]

Agreed, cheap ones are usually a false economy.

[stote]

Thank you guys , i had the same idea cheap ones will not last long, will check dealer prices soon

[Benskett]

How about getting some from a breaker and give them a once over with a wet vac? Might save you some cash!

Biggest problem isn't getting dirty it's that the heel wears through and the passenger mat can become folded.

I can recommend the OEM Alll weather rubber matts. I got just the front 2 for around £40 from memory I thought they would have been much more expensive, one of the best things I have bought for the car

[katie.g]

bmw velour ones every time, cheaper ones are false economy

also if you want to be a complete loon like me you can put stripes in the bmw velour with a credit card, by combing them in alternate directions just like freshly mown grass, it looks fab for at least 2 minutes

They really look nice , how is the smell? I'm worried in summer the rubber will smell, but it's a very good option
I read earlier that we can use F30 front mats specially the Performance ones .

They don't smell at all, the only thing that put me of is when brand new the carpet ones do look better however in the long run for me there is no question that the rubber ones are best option. They can take a beating and still clean up great, I would sometimes need to pressure wash my carpet ones when they got really bad and then they would take days to dry out, the rubber ones get a quick hose down a brush with some all purpose cleaner, rinsed then sit them in the sun and they are dry in literally 2 minuets

Here is a photo of why the rubber ones are a must for me !

Yeah why is that do you think? Mine is folded and it bugs me!

£40 for the rubbers isn't bad at all! Got a part number anyone?

Originally BMW just used the velcro on carpet to grip but it wasn't strong enough, especially over time, so people push it with their feet as they get in and out, and then if you don't pull it out straight away it will start to fold.

My new set I bought had velcro discs to screw in to the carpet like the drivers side, and whilst I rarely take passengers, it hasn't moved in 2 years.

[Andy198712]

Does the passenger side have holes ready to accept those disks? Really bugs me lol

[Digitalize]

In the carpet? No but you just push the disc in and screw and it pushes through the carpet. I stuck them to the mat first, got it in roughly the right place and pushed down so they marked the carpet first, rather than just a rough guess when screwing them in.

I got mine from Autostyle (https://www.autostyle.co.uk/). Good and high quality in my opinion, have been in use for a year now and still holding strong.
