It's that time of year here in DC. A little snow on the ground, ice on the sidewalk, and dirty snow/ice finding its way into my car.

Any recommendations for all-weather or rubber floor mats? I've been looking at mats.com, and they seem to have some good stuff. But the mats at Circle were cheaper. Anything else I should be looking at?

Cheers,

Get a mat that you can cut to go around your gas pedal which is mounted to the floor of your bimmer. The BMW ones are nice, although more expensive, and include hooks to attach them to your floor.

I have the BMW rubber mats IMO they look good and do the job that they were intended .I believe they are about $65 for front and back.The dealer,JMK, gave them to me as a gift when I picked up my car thats why I'm not to sure about the priceGood luck.

I bought a set for my 2006 525i from www.pacificbmw.com. They fit very well.

The thickest, deepest, toughest, and longest-lasting mats are weathertech, available everywhere, including www.weathertech.com. For nasty slush, etc. they're tops.

I bought mine at COSTCO for $20, and they are essentially just like the regualr weathertech mats. They even had sections on the top and bottom for trimming to fit around things built into the floor -- like the gas pedal or foot rest. Mine look just like they were made for my 530xi, and I can't imagine any fitting any better.

Now that being said, I did buy two other sets that didn't fit quite as well -- one from WalMart and one from KMart. I took the KMart set back, and I used the set from WalMart until I could find a set I really wanted. When I found the set at COSTCO, I used the WalMart set to replace the set I had in my LandCruiser that was getting worn.

The ones from COSTCO were much heavier and thicker than the other two sets, and I couldn't imagine any being better.

It also depends on what you like. If you like to have the BMW logo, then get it from BMW dealer. Otherwise, go to Walmart. I bought a set for my Acura MDX from Walmart and it works just fine....

I just got a set from them. It is "their" all weather mats. They fit very well, and come with a 2 yr warranty. Plus they are on sale now for $49.95 (for an 02 530 anyway).
