Carpeted floor mats from BMW are nice, but difficult to maintain in Colorado...

Did anyone purchase different floor mats for their F10, and if so can you share who and where? I've been looking for another set of floor mats due to the BMW carpeted ones are black, for my black interior, and they seem difficult to maintain their cleanliness as they pick up everything, so I was thinking of going with some BMW rubber ones or some 3rd party like Weathertech. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

My brother used to live in Denver, and he had the OEM rubber mats. I thought they looked worse in the long run because they pool whatever they collect and display it (and they scuff). The carpeted mats at least soak up some of the mess. I feel your pain though...sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

OEM Rubber mats rock. I don't find that they pool or collect anything, but they do hold on to dirt from my shoes. They need to be scrubbed every now and then.

I don't like the floor liners. They are hard plastic. I like the all weather mats, they are pliable rubber and far nicer feeling I feel.

Im in southern california where its mostly dry but i use the oem rubber mats all year. It holds dust and dirt well, even the accidental spill. You'd have to scrub it once in a while but it dries quick.

Cheers!

have to agree with the feel of the liners being hard on the feet.. they do keep the car dry and dirt free tho! it rains like crazy in vancouver and that's why i went with the liners!

Weathertech makes nice mats, they are a bit on the expensive side.

Several owners have purchased coco mats from CocoMats.com. I use them three seasons, with BMW rubber mats in the winter. They're well made and sturdy. Also don't show the dirt and are easy to clean.

In Hawaii, the problem with carpeted floor mats has to do with sand. It was a pain to keep my black carpeted floor mat clean so I got rubber floor mats from my BMW dealer for less than $100 for front and back. Since I bought these at the dealer at which I bought my car, I got 10% off. I looked around and I don't think you can find aftermarket mats, front and back, for your car at much less than this price. Found out that they come in gray, beige, or anthracite and I got the last since the carpet in my car is black. Fits perfectly and matches the interior very nicely. There is a BMW logo, if you must have that.
