The don't look anything like picture, but I think I like them better because they aren't as light, it's just funny the picture that came with the mat's where light beige and also the color in the BMW catalog or anywhere else you see them, maybe BMW changed them because of the scuffing problem with the light beige? I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it...

Do you like them? Do they scuff very bad? Lastly do you use them year round over the reg. mats? Sorry for all the questions, it's just funny how all the pictures show them to be beige, but I read somewhere that the dealers actualy would tell people to just get black because the beige would scuff so bad so maybe that is why they turned so brown, but this is my first BMW so maybe they where always that color ???

They don't scuff. They look really nice (although as said not the exact colour). I don't use them all year (only in the winter). In the summer I use the normal fluffy matts (wich I like much more).

The wintermats are really nice because they have these square blocks on them wich hold fluids very well. So if you have wet or snowy feet the water stays on them perfectly.

I had a leaking coffee mug on the floor (luckily on my matts) and I was able to get it all out without having any coffee on the carpet underneath or leather seats!

These things are perfect! I love em!!

My summer beige matts are becoming a bit dirty.. The dealer wanted me to go for the black ones.. I told him that on an 86.000 euro car with beige interior belong beige matts and I will buy a new set from him every year. A new set is around 50 euros. I think that is a small amount of money to have everything beige all year round..

(I think I don't need new mats for another year so I'll have used them 1,5 years).

Hey just thought of something could you have some kind of stain resisting put on them? Like rugs have like scottguard or something put on the mats to prolong/prevent dirt and stains ??? We can invent it if there isn't think of all the euros you will save from buying new mats every 1.5 years
