Where is the best place to get floor mats for the ti? I live in Seattle area so need something durable, but would like to get something with BMW logo or that is nice looking... Interior is Black/Red. Would prefer carpeted, but would consider a nice set of rubber if they looked good...
Thanks,

You can try bavauto, they got a good variety of floor mats | | | | | 12-07-2004, 03:00 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2004 Posts: 107 |
I got a beautiful set of M2 mats on EBAY for $40 plus shipping. They are embroid and much thicker than the OEM mats.
The guy is from South America and sells them all the time, it is his business.
Highly recommended. | | | | | 12-07-2004, 04:08 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 153 |
Do you happen to remember the ID of the seller so I can look it up? | | | | | 12-07-2004, 04:30 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
IMO cloth mats suck. I had Weathertech mats in my Scirocco, they were excellent. I bought rubber mats from Bav Auto two months ago. They work with the floor clips and are Made in Germany, an excellent deal. I have pics if interested.

L84THSKY, let's see those pics! i have the same interior as you, so i'd like to see what they look like in there. i agree with your opinion of cloth mats, not in this climate! | | | | | 12-08-2004, 02:58 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Westchester, NY Posts: 234 |
I have to agree here the rubber BMW mats are the best I put mine in 3 years ago and never looked back the "cloth" mats are jus major pains in the a$$...they rip they get dirty they look like crap. $45.00 bucks and I am happy and they still look great. | | | | | 12-08-2004, 03:35 PM | #9 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |

i have the weathertech/cannons in my ti. they hold a crapload of water (i've used a wet/dry to pull out 1/2 gallon from them before) but there's a visible salt line at the edge from spillover.
not the best protection, but it's certainly better than all that going into your carpet.
l84thsky; do the mats leak where the locks go in? | | | | | 12-09-2004, 03:11 AM | #13 | | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 |
i also have the weathertechs, but they do shift around and stuff. as with aceyx, i have marks on my carpet around the edge of my mats from spillover and such. it would be nice to know not only if they leak around the locks (i'm guessing they seal up there pretty well), but also if you get spillover and such like we've seen with the weathertechs (which do hold a lot of melted snow, etc). you should have some pretty good snows there on long island, right L84THSKY? | | | | | 12-09-2004, 04:38 AM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 153 |
Clearance on Grey Berber Floor Mats at http://www.BavAuto.com I was looking at available options for floor mats and saw that Grey Berber floor mats with "318ti" embroidered on them were on clearance at BavAuto. To find them you need to click on New Products in the top menu then scroll down to the clearance section of that page. They are normally $139.95, on clearance for $95 for a set of 4 (front & back) so if you have a grey interior and want quality carpet floor mats, you might want to check these out... I ordered the same ones only in Black, mine were full price... sigh... Gadget | | | | | 12-09-2004, 06:45 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
Here are the pics. The mats are on sale at Bav Auto. They are called All-weather floor mats. Please excuse the dirty car, I have been more concerned with mods lately, than cleanliness. Check out my new Blaupunkt MP3 player mounted below the CD Head unit.

I will find out this winter. I do agree that the weathertechs are excellent, they hold alot of water in those channels.
