My Ride: 2005 E60 BMW 525i - BIRTHDAY- 11/04 - EXTERIOR- Amethyst Gray Metallic. INTERIOR- Beige Dakota Leather w/Dark Poplar Grain Wood. OPTIONS- Automatic Transmission, Premium Package, Cold Weather Package, 6-disc CD changer, Bluetooth using Verizon Raza V3c phone, SIRIUS Satellite Radio. ADD-ON's- 545i Chrome Grill, Euro Red Reflectors, Factory all-weater matts & Factory Coat-Hanger.
Ok I have never used all-weather mats before and was wondering since I am thinking how my new tan int. is pretty light color and might make a mess, is using factory tan (black came w/my car but is missing driver mat so would have to buy new anyway (beige) ) ghetto or what? I mean I'm sure the reg mat's will be fine but does anyone use rubber factory BMW mats all the time insted of there normal factory mat's?

I think its less ghetto than putting the clear wal mart plastic... but I use the wal mart clear plastic LOL 
Thats only cause its easy to take off if I ever need to show off the car and dont want ANY plastic, just want the nice carpet. So if driving alone I dont care about the ugly clear plastics.

If its ghetto, someone needs to tell Bentley. They color match their floormats to the vehicles color. I took the same style and purchased midnight blue year-round carpet mats with a tan interior. The tan ones were to hard to keep clean. The style looks very elegant.

Am I the only one who thinks rubber floormats are ghey? 
I just use this thing called a vacuum every once in a while. It seems to do the job nicely.
