M3 Floor Mats NLA?

[mcjreston]

I glued the Velcro circles back onto the mats after the backing started to deteriorate. It was three years ago and so far so good (approx. 14,000 miles of use since then.) See my post picture test in this Discussion on the adhesive I used. If you search for Loctite in this Discussion it will pop right up.

What do the axes represent?

y-axis is HP per wheel
x-axis is revolutions per second

Looks like they're back in stock: https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...-11-0-029-231/

It says "embroidered" in the description on ECS, I wonder if they really are or if it's the cheeseball looking ones as of late where the it looks like an iron on patch.

I bought 2 (black) sets when some thought they were going NLA and got the "shit" ones (IMO).
If they are back to the as from factory look I'll want some.

If you can phrase that such that the ECS rep can understand it and give a definitive answer I’d love to hear it. I don’t think their customer service people even work onsite after my last interaction with them.

I ordered a set and these are indeed embroidered:

Maybe both "versions" are embroidered but that photo looks like the "new version". That's good to know what these latest offerings look like regardless.

Differences I see:

- Middle line is a darker shade of blue as opposed to purple on the factory mats

- The "3" is shaped differently, like a different font is being used

- There is a pronounced line around the logo, that why I think it looks like an iron on patch and not as nice as the OG mats.

If someone's looking for a more durable option than OEM floor mats:

I'm crossing my fingers that the trunk mats come back into stock

You should make carbon floor mats like the Porsche carbon mats. 🤔🤔

I will work on a rear seat delete option before Something that almost look like you could sit on but not.

I made something like that for my car: https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...387#post284387

Saved 25.9 lbs. My seat backs weigh 2.4 lbs total. They're very flimsy (by design), but they do their job. Recreating the seat backs in carbon will likely yield similar weight loss, but will be WAY stiffer.

Saw your setup, read your build threads

I want to do something that would look like a 2 places rear seat with a mix of CF and alcantara. But it will only be for the look, not a real seat option.

Oh very cool. Should save even more weight if you get rid of the foam and leather (it'll be loud though).

Excited to see what you come up with!

I wouldn't count on it.
