I bought some from this seller:
Ebay seller
Really good quality and much better than anything else on ebay aside from maybe genuine ones. BMW don't sell RHD cab mats so I had to find an alternative. Do not buy anything other than Tufted mats, especially not rubber ones!

Yeah, I took a gamble and hoped for the best. when they arrived the underside was facing out and I thought they looked like rubbish quality, once I opened the pack I realised they a re very nice.
I'll try and get some pics tomorrow although they are hard to photograph.

I bought a set of those about 7 years ago. They're OK for the price but are nowhere near OE standard.
I had a set of Motormec mats in my old E46 and they were a big step up in quality and had a really nice fit and finish. I don't know if they still sell them as they're under different ownership now but they were well worth the money. When they were based in Lowestoft mats used to be their biggest selling item.

The new OE ones I saw for the E30 looked awful, and I couldn't get them in RHD for the Cab. They were shiny and looked like the 'once size fits all' types you see in Halfords etc.darkchild wrote: I bought a set of those about 7 years ago. They're OK for the price but are nowhere near OE standard.

Looks like they still do them, for E30s too. They don't appear to be much different to the tufted mats I have (and they are £15-£20 more) from the pictures, but as I said with mine, pictures are hard to see how much better they are than the non tufted cheap versions.
It'd be interesting to see what they are like in person though.

Those look great! How do you attach the clips? Do they just screw into the carpet?

They're good. I took a chance buying them blind but I was impressed.
They have the attachments included, you just screw them into the carpet like the OEM ones.

Autostyle mats are superb, but not cheap.
Justmatz are supposed to be good too.

Got some pics of the ones I got from the Ebay seller I linked above for the cab....

They didn't come with the screw in pegs but they fit brilliantly and don't appear to actually need them anyway. Also, only the driver's one has holes for the pegs.
