Guys I'm looking for some good quality floor mats. I have bought one set about a year ago that were meant to be "luxury" but the heel pad has started to come away already :x

Anyone know of a good company?

thanks

From what i have found it is a case of you get what you pay for probably need to budget to spend around £50.00 for a decent set

Give Motormec (Tel: 01502 500590) a call - they stock mats for most BMW's which are sourced from the original suppliers. A set for an E30 is £45'ish iirc and the quality is superb - much better than most ebay rubbish.

No pics but I've seen them in their store - The E36 set is identical to my original dealer supplied ones.

Just purchased a set of the City range mats from Motormec for my new E46 and they're first class - superb fit and finish and of far higher quality than most £15 ebay tat. They also stock some very nice velour sets for newer BMW's.

I got a set from Motormec and a year on they are fine. One thing to note is while they are possibly of OEM quality they don't come with the OEM standard clips which is mildly irritating.

I have a set of overmats to fit on top of the BMW clipped items. I don't like to get the carpets dirty!

In winter I replace the overmats with (shock horror!) rubber equivalents to keep it all clean.

ECP and G&S are worth checking out for cheap mats.
