How to install BMW Performance floor mats

[michaelalex17]

So I feel like an idiot even asking this as this should be pretty straight forward, but I just ordered the BMW performance floor mats online and they have Velcro on the bottom of them and then they came with these little circular things that go into the floor of the vehicle. It came with instructions, but none of it is in English and the pictures don't make any sense. Does anyone have a video or something to show how to actually install these. Thank you in advance

I deserved that one haha

The disc should have a T on the bottom. Put the T into the floor then twist it until it locks. Put the floor mats on and line the velcro up. If you did it right the mats shouldn't move and the disk should 't come out of the floor.

[michaelalex17]

That is what I thought, but the diagram in the instructions looks nothing like that

[michaelalex17]

The diagram is talking about cutting something with scissors and then there is what looks like a mini soda can...

There's excess rubber at the top of each mat for packaging. That's the only thing you need to cut.

Excess rubber, that's odd. Will have to take a look at that when I get home. And what is the mini garbage can looking thing

In the diagram, in step 1 and step 2 there is a cylinder shaped prism, what is that supposed to be?

looks like you have to replace the original velcro disks from the stock floor mats with the ones that come with the MPerformance mats since they are a different size?

first image: cut off excess rubber and discard.
step 1. take the original velcro disks (in the car floor) out.
step 2. place the new ones in. make sure the lines are horizontal first and turn 90º clockwise. you can use the old ones as the "screwdriver" to turn it. afterwards, throw the original disks away or keep them with the original mats.
step 3. place the new MPerformance mat down, making sure the velcro aligns properly.
step 4. never buy things from ikea
step 5. I'm not sure if you're trolling or not. if you are, well done.

As am I,

It is very easy to do, I was getting tripped up with the instructions not being clear. I usually don't read the instructions, should have just stuck to what I usually do

[michaelalex17]

Also don't see any extra rubber to cut off on these mats

These are generalized instructions for the all weather floor mats as well.


If you have excess rubber on the top - which is used solely for display hanging, cut it off and throw out. Find the two velcro pieces on your floor, and twist counter clockwise to remove, and replace with the supplied larger ones by screwing in clockwise. If your vehicle came without these, there should be small divit/holes in the carpets closest to the seat where the plastic velcro hub goes.


If you still don't get it, just throw out the plastic discs and just put the mats in your car in the same arrangement that your current mats are in.

Thank you!

Are you still having trouble? Let me know and I'll have Tommy come over there and hit you over the head with a tack hammer.

Haven't had a chance to do it yet, I openly admitted the question was ridiculous. I got thrown off because the instructions included cutting something which ended up not being applicable to these mats which I had no way of knowing and then there was a picture of the little prism contraption in step 2 which I had no idea what it was. Thanks again for the help
