I wish I never started this thread...so many haters...hahaha
I also can't stand the emblem, kidney grills, doors, hood, trunk...hahahaha
Guys, I am just joking, except for the Mats. They really do move all over more so up the gas pedal. That's a pain. Deforms the mat too.

Maybe his mats have the velcro but the plastic discs aren't installed in his car?

That's gotta be it. Even my e46 had the velcro disks for the carpet mats and little plastic hooks for the all season ones, just like my e60. AFAIK, this has been standard on BMW's North American cars for at least a decade or so.
