I ordered black. They don't have grey available for their All-Weathers. They only have grey in the more expensive "hex-o" mats.

They did have tan though

Are the Turner mats the same OEM that dealers sell? They are stamped BMW. I like them better than the BavAuto mats, but I like the WeatherTech "Floor Liners" the best. The WeatherTech stuff appears to be fair-traded, meaning that everybody seems to have them for the exact same price.

I believe so... I bought the carpeted mats and they say BMW and are advertised as being OEM...

There are 2 types of OEM all weather mats, one with just all rubber and the one with all rubber with a heel pads made of like carpet material. I have the latter. I personally like this one since it protect the heel of your shoes from constantly rubbing againts the rubber mats and it doesn't create a puddle cause by melted snow or rain since the pads absorbs it.

Thanks for all the clarifications, guys. Actually, I discovered that the WT floor liners are extruded plastic, and not rubber. I think I'm going to buy the OEM all-weathers. bmwpartsforless.com has them cheaper than Turner.

As for what Al said above, having that carpet material at your heals can work against you. Years ago, when I used to wear dress shoes to work, sand used to collect on the carpet at the base of the gas pedal, and as I pivoted my foot to brake, the action used to grind the sand into the back of my shoe, wearing a "smile" into it. (I guess that wouldn't have happened if I kept my carpets clean, lol!)

I made sure I didn't order the Xi's though
I got them in!! They are well worth the money. Here is a quick pic



They are perfectly cut with high edges and they have nice weight to them. I'd buy them again if I had too. For $70 they can't be beat in terms of quality.

Actually, they don't look half-bad! Personally, I like the OEM ones better, though.

They are growing on me in terms of looks. They just aren't fancy like the OEM mats.

No they don't come with clips. However, they are ribbed on the bottom to prevent sliding. I don't think they will be moving anywhere.

My BMW dealership ran a special on all weather mats for $99.00. They are great, especially with all this snow and wet boots in and out of the car...
