M3 Floor Mats NLA?

[c watson]

I heard on the G05 X5 forum that there’s a huge backlog for OEM replacement parts at the moment. Something about a new location being built overseas I believe.

I still have 2/3 sets that I’m hoarding from the last shortage that I was able to pick up. These will be NLA one day. I don’t think now, but soon enough yes.

Reviving this thread. I know the black floor mats were back in stock for a while, but when I checked today, a few places have them listed as backordered.

Anyone know the status of this? and if they are going to be difficult to obtain again?

I've been running weathertech for a while and am a big fan. the fit is great and I've basically put it in all my cars.

Any other options? Or is it going to be a Weathertech Christmas?

We all know once you put these mats in place, you slap a Weathertech rubber mat on top to protect them. 😂

I approve these messages.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but im all aboard the weathertech bandwagon. Bought my 09 335i from its original owner of 11 years and he had all 4 + trunk. Great fitment, great quality, easy to clean, and they do an amazing job keeping everything underneath minty clean. First experience with WT and will certainly pick up a set for the 46 when its back on the road. If you live in an area with rain/dirt/etc, they're a no brainer.

Has anyone ordered the black mats without the M logo and care to comment on the quality to current date? Are they really as bad as what an individual commented in the ecs listing? I'm out of options on what to buy as the new M logo ones look really ebay.

The one I bought was identical to the originals. Same Velcro anchors and the weight of the carpet is the same. I only needed the driver’s side as the rest were like brand new.

I just installed the black e46 mats (pn 52478201222). They do feel pretty crappy. Took a minute to get the anchors hooked into the carpet but they actually seem better than the velcro that the m3 mats used. I had what were probably the original mats that came with the car (purple stripe) and I definitely would like a set that feels like that (just not all worn out).

The mats that came from the factory on Canadian spec M3’s are all black with no logo or heel pad and look a lot better IMO. Plus you can still order from the stealership.

Just requested a sample be sent out to my address. Will let you know how it matches the existing A and C pillars I replaced a few years ago. My Bs are faded but haven't lifted yet lol.

I think you will be happy. Report back.

[thegenius46m]

A perfect match just darker compared to your OEM pillars due to sun-bleaching. That price is for a yard.
Pillars ONLY as it doesn't have the foam backing for the headliner.

There is nothing anyone could do to make me put those hideous rubber mats in my car

Like you said, there's enough badging already.

This is part of the reason I switched to all weathers years ago. That, plus they're easier to care for. And since my car sees lots of sand from beach day anyway, the others may or may not be up for sale some day. They really weren't all that good, but neither were the AMG mats that came in my SClass (same year, which made no sense given the MSRP). Both had peeling backs after a year or two. I don't know who was the supplier then, but it was silly. It's nice to have the originals but when the originals are trash... then it's just for the sake of provenance.

maw

That’s a pretty good match? Probably would have gone that route had I known there was a definitive fabric that matches or at least is decently close.

$60 shipped for new BM3109 material from Global Upholstery Supply. I would just re-wrap them for uniformity.

Yeah I think I’m going to go this route. And then just take the lottery with the A-pillar inserts
