Rubber floor mats

I got the weathertech mats and Im not all that happy with them. The feel cheap and slide around, at least on the driver side. Is the OEM rubber mat better?

Or is there a better one out there?

I have the OEM rubber mats and they stay put with the help of velcro.

I might switch back to the carpeted mats for the summer though.

I ordered the OEM mats from ebay... was much cheaper than ordering from BMW. Agree that weathertech fit is not great, though I just bought their cargo cover, which will arrive on thursday...hope it's ok.

We have the OEM rubber mats use them - never a problem.
Also have the OEM cargo mat - which is great but expensive.

The OEM rubber mats are so good I still have them on and I'm not so sure I will replace them with the OEM summer ones.

I have the rubbers on top of the velours. Never had them slide on me. Frankly only annoying passengers seem to mess up theirs...

I tend to agree. I am not happy with the weather tech (OEM version) high wall mats. They do slide, the velcro adhesive isn't bonding well to the mats, and they appear a bit "short" front to back.

I had the flat rubber mats in my old E83 and those things had a hook anchor and they fit and held up well.

Any comments on the OEM F25 flat rubber mats? I didn't see a lot of feedback in this thread about them.

thanks much!

I have those OEM rubber mats (front and rear), and love them. No issues at all. Perfect fit - no sliding around at all! I would recommend them.

I bought the OEM all weather mats from Dealership when they had a 25 percent off promotion. They have the XDrive written on each side. Very nice, fit like a glove, have velcro at the bottom. Your feet don't slide around like on the rubber mats. I may put the carpet ones during summer but in winter those are going back inside the car. I also bought the all weather cargo mat from the BMW dealer. This has a rubber backing underneath which makes it heavier so it stays down real nice. I found weather tech to be more expensive. Look for coupon deals in the accessory section of parts area. Currently there is a promotion in Denver Metro Area for 20 percent off. I am sure the dealership in your town may have something like this.
Cheers!

I have the Weathertech floor liner for the front and I am totally happy with them. They are on the thin side but they work as advertised and doesn't seem to move.
