Hi all,
My 550i in carbon black/creambeige will be delivered at the end of the month. I'd like to replace the beige floor mats that will come with the car with BMW anthracite mats. Any suggestions on board sponsors, etc. to buy these mats from? They're listed on the BMW accessories site at $130 for a set of 4.
Also curious whether anyone would recommend any other accessories -- i.e., luggage compartment net, etc.
Thanks in advance.

I have the OEM plastic trunk liner. It's a nice addition and you won't have to worry about transporting dirty or wet stuff in the trunk.

I also recommend the cargo net for the trunk - someone already suggested the cargo liner; helpful if you sometimes carry messy cargo.

Ask your dealer sales rep to swap them out when the car arrives.

I can recommend the rear seat protector. The roof rack. The coat hanger. The umbrella. The power adapter for the flashlight receptacle. The ipod adaptor. The halogen map light. Valve caps.
