M3 Floor Mats NLA?

[pawa_k2001]

Ordered on March 2nd from FCP, it took them a week to ship them, I received them this past Friday.

I passed on a set on ebay for $99 3 days ago to buy from FCP for $106 as I am a patron, only to get an email from you today cancelling the order.
Not happy.

I would be too.
But to be fair this is a BMW fulfillment issue from their network stock. Have had that happen to me even ordering direct thru BMW wholesale account over the years.

Ya it happens, still bothered but oh well. If the new mats are gonna look like they do with blue middle stripes and wayward strands of thread, I'll stick with my originals.

my CC got charged by FCP today, so I’m guessing they’re getting shipped?

Here are pictures of 2/3 of my mat sets. Looks like they have the original stripe.

One set is from Fernan BMW that I got on eBay.
another is old stock from BMW of Manhattan
and most recent is a set from Bimmerworld.

Maybe the purple stripe was a glitch on the coupe mats? I would have seen them on my Bimmerworld convertible set as those are the most recent ones.

Not sure if you’re saying those are original stripe color, if so those are not the original purple middle stripe.

If you’re not talking about that, sorry please excuse my not understanding post.

Look but don't touch...
Mine recently received FCP mats also have some stiching issues on one mat. Also, I checked out some mats I ordered Nov. of 2019 from ECS I have stashed away and they have the newer style non-purle center stripe, so this change is at least that old.

Hmmm I may be wrong then. To me they looked like the original stripes.

Nice, you got the correct colors on new mats, jealous.

Oh haha you’ll be pleased to know there’s no need to be jealous. Sorry those aren’t 2021 batch. They’re my last (3rd) set a few years ago replacing my 2nd set. I just had a photo of them for reference.
*Of note (photo shows) the reinforced carpet patch is there for a useful purpose. A big reason I mentioned not to rush and get the plain version (someone was suggesting) that does Not have the patch.

....and credit card was issued a refund last night and order canceled. Contacted a third dealership in Wichita, they tried to sell me the plain ones without embroidery, with an upcharge. Nice.

[SG/IRM3]

Credit card refund last night here as well.

IMO these look cool, certainly not for those who are all about keeping the OEM look though.

I don't have the need as my mats are still looking good.

We could just get a GB going to have someone replicate the originals with the purple stripe. If everyone interested stocked up we could easily get the price down as well to justify it AND have period correct mats.
