I contacted weathertech and they said the X4 mats fit the X4M.
I have a set in my X4MC and they fit great!

Hopefully that means the ones fitted for the x3 will also fit in the x3m

I can confirm the fitted ones from X3 will for the X3M, also the cargo mat.

I actually have a brand new set of x3 oem winter rubber mats to sell. Pm if interested.

Get the 3D maxpider mats. They are awesome.

I fitted the "BMW RHD G01 X3 Front and Rear Rubber Floor Mats 51472450513" on my X3MC and they fitted fine (note these are the RHD version as I am in UK). I also ordered the Weathertech X3 boot (trunk) liner and that fits fine (note my X3MC does not have the raised floor due to not having the space saver spare tyre). Hope this helps.

I have the rubber mats from the regular X4 (dealer gave them to me at no charge). Good fit and a must have in winter months.

Can anyone accurately explain the differences between OEM winter liners and mats or X3MC.
I've been told conflicting explanations. From what I gather:

Rubber Mats are thicker, flexible and less of a spill wall. (More premium.)

Liners. thinner more rigid (hard) more of a spill wall.

Thoughts?

Neither BMW or Weathertech have winter mats to fit the new X4 in the UK. That's weak...

Weathertech - it's a business decision on a small market...OK FU

BMW - is just pissing on the UK market and offering very little product...OK FU

i ordered the weathertech liners for the x3 m40i and they fit fine. they are thinner and definatley more rigid than standard winter "mats" but they do ride up higher to contain all the nasty muck that we track into our cars from the outside when it snows.

getting our first snow today in the NY Metro area so we'll see how they do when i get home.

The fit maybe good but that's a cheap milk jug plastic liner. So much cheaper to make than rubber mats.

That’s actually a pretty good comparison. I was trying to figure out what they felt like. At the end of the day.....if it keeps the carpets dry and clean....then I’m happy. Was hoping they would make M performance rubber mats for the x3m. Not feeling the regular x3 winter mats.

I’m curious what people think of OEM vs Weather Tech?

I used the OEM rubber mats on my E46 and they are thick but won’t hold much water. I’ve used Husky Liners on another truck and they are sturdy, but the spikes ruin the carpet.

Tempted to go Weather Tech this time.

Can you post some more pics? Are they any good? I’ve looked at them and had my doubts.. especially the thickness? Compared to the BMW ones?

Used Weathertech for many years on many vehicles when they were the best (and sometimes only) option for deep pocketed heavy duty applications (think pick-up trucks, lots of snow, upper mid-west, snow boots, in and out of the vehicle frequently) they (usually) fit very well, but I found them very slippery and to be honest, way over priced. Some OEM's have Weathertech manufacturer, put their labels on, and retail them.

BMW makes two different winter mats, low profile and higher profile (as in the pic above). The low profile IMO fits better than the high profile. They hold plenty, keeping in mind your use and the fact they will dry when the floor vents are blowing on them. If im getting in the vehicle with boots and heavy snow, I always clap them off after I sit down and swing my feet in.

Functionally what I like best about the OEM mats is they are a soft rubber (as opposed to hard plastic like WT) which means they arent as slippery and provide better grip when wet.

I have two X's, one in warm climate and one in seasonal climate. The OEM low profile rubber stay in the warm climate year-round because of the constant sand getting tracked in. They are much easier to vacuum off. The warm climate switch from carpet to low profile as the seasons change.

Finally-The rubber OEM wear and look better season after season. They clean-up better than WT and dont look as worn.

I had them on my F31 - excellent. The quality is the same on the X3 but the only thing i would say is that there is a bigger gap around the accelerator pedal than i would like.

Ill take more pics during daylight.
