This is probably a dumb question, but what do you guys do?

I do the same, after all it's easier to clean rubber mats then carpet especially in winter.

Nope, I pull the carpeted mats and store them for two reasons:
1) The BMW all-weather mats have a different method of anchoring the mats to the floor than the carpeted ones. The carpet mats use a velcro type anchor and the all-weather mats use a hook that comes up through a hole in the mat.
2) On my E39s, I used to use the MacNeil all-weather mats and one year I put them down on top of the carpeted mats. In the spring, when I removed the rubber mats I found that they left marks in the carpeted mats. It took quite some time for the marks to go away (like when you move furniture to a different place in your house and there's dents in the carpets where the furniture used to be...)

Right, the rubber things leave bad marks on the floor-mats.
So I remove them for winter and put them back by changing to summer tires again.

I'm considering ordering a whole set from McNeil - I assume the new 550 takes "E60" mats? I suppose there's no difference to the floor on the different year E60 models? The trunk one-piece tray is great and it appears to fit very well.
Let me know please.
Thanks!
