Why do you think BMW has two different ones? Do you think they are more than esthetics and are designed for different purposes? I thought maybe A was for the full slush defense and B was just for wet feet. What do you think?

I have the option A mats, and i think they're great also. I picked them up from someone on ebay but i didnt get the anchors that come with them. Anyone with these mats know what kind of anchors are used because mine slide around a lot.

My Ride: E60 "Stripper"
Now C6 "Stripper"
I've got A. they are low maintenance, just use a soft brush to scrub and then hose em off! 
If you like C. better, i'd only use them in good weather and not around any wet, greasy or dirty sidewalks.

I opted for the B floormats. Being in Germany and seeing both...I wanted a better quality floormat. B seemed heavier and more sturdy. Also they have the screw downs to avoid any movement. I love'em. Good mats.

My Ride: Now Driving a Freakin' Prius!
Was...
2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
The type A mats have a hole punch out and come with hooks. The velcro comes out with a turn or two and the hook anchors go in the same way (opposite turn - of course).
