i have the ones you have but in beige and they are great. the back arnt anchored but they do fit but can still move. the front how ever hasn't moved on me yet and they are anchored juts like you said. cleaning them is easy just dust it off and iv let them sit in light bleach water and air dry. keeps the carpet nice and dry and clean. I dont have those metal clips though. do you have any pics?

I'll trade you pics of the regular metal anchors for the summer mats if you (or anybody) can post some pics of how those rubber mats are anchored

I'm trying to see if my dealer can order the anchors separately for me from BMW as I never received them with my rubber mats.

On the new plastic anchors, it is written:

Thanks!! If I can't pick them up directly from BMW...I'll try Mac Neil (Weathertech).

Yes, the plastic anchors (the ones in the bag) were included with the front carpet kit.

Ah ah, you're pushing me toward winter I check the weather every night to see if I can still run on the 20s and postpone the installation of the winter tires and winter mats.

Since I was curious also to see the fitment, I installed one carpet on the driver side. It fits real well. On the pictures, I left the metal retainers (for summer carpets) installed. They don't interfere with the installation. If you prefer, for esthetic reasons to remove them, it's just one bolt each to remove them. In my case they are very visible since my seat is moved backward a lot (long legs), but in other cases, they may be less visible.
