I have tan interior in my car and tan floor mats, they get very dirty and the carpet is extremely hard to keep clean. I was wondering if anyone had black floor mats with the tan leather, and wanted your opinions how it might look. Anyone know where I could be e60 m5 mats?

I had black all-weather mats in my light gray e-46 for the winter. I thought they looked great. I imagine carpet ones would look just as nice. There's so much in these cars that's black anyway (dash, steering wheel, etc.), they should fit in nicely.

I had a beige interior in my E46-Cabrio and in the wintertime I always had black velour mats inside. It looked very nice !

It?s like CWS530 wrote, there's so much inside that's black that they should fit in nicely.

Now I also have the beige one, they are really terrible to keep them clean - but in the summertime I don?t care, theres not much rain But when October comes, I will buy black mats again.

After purchasing my car, I was fortunate enough to locate in the classified section of this site new black floor mats for the E60. To me, looks way better (black and beige contrast) and of course hides the dirt.

do not like the black mats. My 01 325i had black carpet. Drove me insane. Black shows dirt, dust, hair, pebbles. I had to brush it off once a day to keep my sanity.

My last car had black mats and I think I liked it better than having them so light that shows up lots of dirt.
