I got a new set of BMW mats for mine of ebay for £35. A lot better than the £80 that the dealer wanted.

The BMW one's don't have BMW written on them either.....not for new cars anyway, they dropped the lettering a while back.

Tim

I learned that the hard way on the 5 series for a set of mats, this time for the 3 a nice set on a buy-it now e-bay listing from Motorforce delivered to the door for the princely sum of GBP 50.50  and the quality is very very good

Hard to tell the difference between BMW and Motorforce's (someone somewhere has a nice side line probably at the original makers)

30.00 quids better in anyone's pocket these days

 

Currently E38 - 740

Amongst the 'options' for the 6 were mats....at £105.

Needless to say, I made sure they were thrown in before sealing the deal!

Daylight robbery.

I bought a new set of mats for the car today.....

Fawdingtons Newcastle.  1x set of 4 mats.  Grey.

How much do you reckon?  £50?  £60?  £70?  

No.  £90!!  £90!?!?!?!?!?  They are carpet!  Not lined with gold!

No wonder BMW make so much profit!!!!!!  If mine weren't so tatty, I would have told them to stick them where the sun don't shine!

It's a good job I didn't ask them to fit them as well!!!!!!!

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavours last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
