Does anybody have pictures of a grey interior with black floor mats? How does it look?

These grey mats show dirt too easily....

Sorry, don't have any pictures but I did the same thing on my old 545 w/ grey interior. I actually really liked the contrast the black floor mats provided with the grey interior.

Agreed, the grey shows the dirt very easily. I suppose in dry climates they may work better, but in a wetter environment they are a no go.

I disagree. I had a 325i with all black interior. The black mats showed every leaf, pebble, dirt, dust, or grime. Have the gray in my 525 and like it much better.

No floor mats make your car go faster! Well... according to some posts on this forum. Along with driving naked and taking a dump before you drive!

Hi,

My lease car came with black mats from the leasing co and I found the proper grey BM ones in the boot unopened. The black ones show the dirt even more!!

Im now wearing grey.

Cheers
Darren.

Here is my car with oem black rubber floor mats. I know it is not the best pick but I am very happy with these. They are a bit heavy though. By the way they actually look much better when clean, right now they are about as dusty as they could be. Also I included a before pic which shows my black trim which helps to carry the look through the car.

Furthers my point. Black shows dust. Think about black exterior paint......
