I may be relegating them to winter duty only and getting a set of OE carpet mats. I also have the pullout load floor and I actually prefer a carpeted mat in the trunk for all seasons, no pic on ECS but its 84 bucks to add in.

Good post and don't get me wrong I love the weathertechs, but at 76 bucks you can get front and rear OE all weather mats. However if your feet are extremely dirty in the winter, the Weathertechs will be much more protection as they cover more and have deeper channels. Nice recommendation.
I love the soft BMW all weather mats also. The only thing I did not want to happen is for the carpet around the mats to get wet during the salt weather.

Most of the country has winter. Here is the Wash DC area we get salt. If it looks like snow, VDOT and the local counties come out with the salt (brine water) trucks and start running around dumping the metal eating stuff. Last year nothing came out of our of the garage, except the minivan as they dumped so much salt in my area that it took a thunder storm to wash it away.
My idea of winter is a jacket, no snow blowers, no ice scrappers, etc.
