Weathertech vs. BMW OEM Floorliners

[pocketdoc]

I also purchased and like the WT Digital Fit liners. Very nice and more protection than the rubber BMW mats. I may get the cargo cover, as I rarely use the tie-downs.

Is there a stick on clear plastic that can be used for areas of the carpet that are exposed? Just to the right of the accelerator gets very dirty, and just in front of the left corner (when stepping into the car).

I purchased black WT digital fit liners for my 2009 X5. I live in New England and drive around to customer sites all day. After a few days there is a nice collection of dirt, sand, rocks, leaves, etc. . . that would otherwise be ground into the carpet. It is easy to lift the liners out and dump them.

Once you remove the liner you find some stuff falls around and behind the gas pedal. I just use a brush to collect up all the little bits of stuff and swish it out the door.

I occasionally wipe them out with a damp rag and spritz some 303 Aerospace Protectant, they look new again.

The rear seat set fits well under the seats and covers the hump too.

I bought the WT version at stratsautoextras.com before I knew about the BMW logos are available at bmw.dealerfit.com

Which are better for snow use. The bmw waffle pattern floor mats or weathertech style floor mats?

Does anyone else have the problem with the driver side mat getting stuck under the gas pedal and not allowing you to punch the gas all the way?

I love this product with that one annoyance which I get around by constantly tugging the floor mat away from the pedal with my other foot as I drive.

Which mats do you have? Carpet, all-weather, or liners? I have liners and there are no issues at all.

I have the liners but maybe the issue is that I put it on top of the carpeted mats that come with the car?

Yeah, get those mats out from under. That's not a good thing.

I just put the OEM all weather floor liner in my 2010 X5 35d (with comfort seat and 3rd row options) this morning and here is my observation:

3rd row set: 85% satisfaction
Rear set: comes in one peice. covers and fits perfectly.
Front set:
passenger side: 90% satisfaction
driver side: fits terrible. the hole on the liner is not match the hook on the carpet.

Could any one who has the OEM liner give some advice? Should I go get the weathertech digital fit for my front set? However, the OEM liner was made by Weathertech as shown on its back.

You can move the hook. It just screws into the carpet. I have the regular floor mats and rubber ones. You change the "hook" as the carpet hooks are velcro and the rubber ones are hooks. You can just reposition that left hook in your picture to line it up.

Let me know if this helps with the fit as I am thinking of ordering the liners. I have a beige interior and am thinking about black liners

I had the OEM winter (rubber) floor mats in my just retired '07 4.8. They were OK but lots of sand/dirt got around them and the small carpet portion looked terrible after 2 years of use.

For the new 35d I decided to get the Weathertech floor liners. They cover more ground and don't have the carpet piece. Together with the black floor (Saddle interior) I think this is going to work better. I also like that the 2nd row covers the middle - I had some water spill once in the old X and it soaked the middle between the rubber mats.

Just be prepared since the WT mats take a couple of weeks to get to you.
