Winter car mats for E90/E92?

tirana · 11-04-2006, 06:26 PM

Any recommendations for winter car mats? Do most people stick with the BMW mats or are there others to look at? The drivers side footwell is very narrow between the lefthand footrest and the righthand transmission wall and I'd guess most mats don't fit. Have snow tires but no snow mats!!!

(interior is cream/tan and the mats I have are the carpet type - won't look good after the first storm...).

I had my dealer throw in a set of oem rubber mats when I took delivery, they're all rubber with the exception of a rectangular carpeted strip for the driver's heel. I definitely won't be using them for the winter though, they seem terribly inadequate in terms of holding slush and water.

I've bought from Weathertech many times in the past and 3 out of the 4 cars I've purchased a set for came custom cut for the model. I e-mailed them a month ago and was told that the E90 already has custom-cut mats available as their parent company is MacNeil automotive, which makes BMW's oem mats sold through the dealers. I'll be placing an order by tomorrow so if you like I can PM you when they come in and let you know if they really are the custom fit variety and cover every little square inch. FYI They are available in black, tan or gray.

the BMW oem rubber mats work great. I put them in just before the last rain storm and they saved my carpets. I just dump the leaves out after the water dry up the next day.

Please do PM. I checked out the site and was a little concerned that the pics of the 3 series mats were of an E46 interior so it'll be interesting to know the P/N for the E90/92 series mats.
