I hate the oem rubber mats they are useless, they are very shallow with no grooves in them so snow and slush just sit on top and melt while you are driving and then the bottoms of your pants soak up all the water. I got back from lunch today and my dress pant bottoms are soaked half way up my calves.

I really like the rubber mats from bimmian.com. They are extra large. Very nice.

The BIMMIAN RUBBER FLOOR MATS are great if you were at the beach and you have some sand and rocks and a little water on your shoes. Yet, I do not know how they contain big messes like mud or snow, or muddy snow 
I think the weathertech have a raised lip that keeps everything from going onto the actual carpet. But I really love them and they don't slide around and all you have to do to clean them is spray them down with water and let them sit in the sun for a few hours. (But I guess that hard to do if you live up North

My Ride: 530I Silver gray with gray leather with Premium Package, Logic 7 Premium sound system with Ipod interface, xenon adaptive headlights, Active steering, Power retractable rear sunshade, Comfort seats, Cold weather package and M5 OEM 166 wheels, Sprintbooster. Ceramic Tint all around, Bilstein Sports shocks with Eibach springs, Brake performance Rotors and Axxis ceramic pads.
there are 2 types of OEM rubber mats. One has a carpet like patch where your heal sits. This material absorb most of the liquids that drips from your shoes. It is also a lot better for your dress shoes. Asked your local Dealer about it.
