Cargo mat? anyone have it?
 

Thinking of which one to get. Hope ppl that have it can help me. I want to know if there is a difference between the all weather cargo liner and the fitted luggage cargo mat? Which one if more worth it to get?

:dunno:

I have the all weather mat
 

It has a lip all around the edge the keeps fluids and dirt from running over onto the carpet. It is a great add for the vehicle. We haul coolers and things back there so sometimes water can get spilled. It keeps this stuff from getting on the carpet.

The other one the lip on it is not as high right? is it good quality plastic?

I have the all weather cargo mat with the lip. Quality is excellent and I am very happy with it.

Cargo mat
 

The lip is about 1" to 1 1/2" high all around the edge but it is flexible and sort of conforms to the shape of the cargo area side walls. It is good quality material. It would take a lot to tear it or poke a hole in it. It is also pretty flexible so you can lift it up to access the storage area underneath with no problem. I highly recommend it to keep the area back there clean. I have the floor mats as well and they also have the lip and are of the same material. All of them have a BMW logo on them.

I'm also interested in this but still not clear on the differences between the two. Is the all-weather (non-fitted) a simple rectangle while the fitted one turns into every corner back there? From the pic that would seem to be the only difference (no-3rd row).

does the all weather work with 3rd row?

The luggage compartment mat is truly fitted, while the all weather is "form-fitting". I have the all weather. It is a bit lighter and more flexible so you can access the storage area underneath easier. Since it is really just a rectangle, you don't get coverage as well on the storage area on the side and I always brush up on the belt on the side when I lift it up for storage access. The luggage compartment mat is thicker and heavier. harder to take out and harder to access the storage, I do think however, it offers better protection and is shaped better

thx for the info, I was about to get a quote from morristown but just noticed they've departed. oh well.

the all weather you can choose with or without 3rd row seat.

I copied the info below from a Roadfly post but it is exactly the route I chose (i have 3rd row seats that are down 99% of the time). The all weather cargo mat works great and fits perfect (it might seem just a tad tight if the second row seats are pushed all the way back). Note that the last few digits of the part number will change depending upon color! It is $58 from Circle BMW (they give nice internet discounts....ask for Chris in parts). Also...the beige color is not an exact match but you will will not even notice two days later....


I use the larger all weather cargo mat for x5s without the 3rd row. part number 82 11 0 417 985. the smaller one designed for use with the 3rd row seats up is useless since it only covers the under deck storage panel. and most likely if i were to carry anything messy in the back it would be with the seats down. The material is flexible enough that if i need to open the 3rd row, i either roll it up an stow it in whatever is left of the back. most of the time i dont roll it. i just bend it gently into a "U" shape and let it line up against the back seat and lower tailgate.

thanks for the info. just ordered mine. it's true. the lip on it helps. I had the other one on the 2002 x5 and the lip was not as high and liquids can spill over.

Thanks for the info. I needed one for all the groceries that sometimes tend to leak liquids. how much circle charge for shipping?

I just purchased one for $56 shipped on ebay from a BMW dealer in Maine. It doesn't look like they have any left (at least not right now)... it is advertised as the BMW factory luggage cargo mat and they have a full refund with shipping policy if it's not to my liking so I went for it.

Circle BMW is always very reasonable for shipping and ship very fast! I think i might have paid $10 shipping....They are one of the two or three most often mentioned dealers used for internet OEM part purchases.

Man! that's a great deal. Too bad I already ordered from Morristown. They charged me $20. I ordered the seatbelt holder too. At least he didn't add more shipping for that. I could've drove to Circle hahaha.

So I got this on Tuesday but it is for the E53 as it is too wide - it doesn't indicate this in the auction, but I called them and the rep was extremely nice and is willing to give me the pricier E70 fitted luggage mat swapped straight-up for my troubles. Thumbs up to Bill Dodge BMW in Maine.

hmmm..., My cargo tray looks different from those above :dunno:

^ is that OEM? Never came across that even with 3rd parties.

As long as it fits though right? It'd be great to finally be able to toss crap back there without caring.

Just checked my cargo tray and it has part # 51470444754 stamped on it.
I guess the picture in the BMW catalog does not represent the actual design.

I like the weathertech mats.

http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvp...d=90&Year=2008

I have the BMW one (it's actually made by Weathertech) but it tends to slide to the back. I think the one actually made by Weathertech with the Weathertech name on it is much higher quality.

I went throught this process on my E53 a few years ago, I went with the All weather mat for a few reasons(its cheaper one at about $73), first it is very durable and strong, there is nothing you would want to put in the X that could ruin it (*) and fit perfect like a glove, it is light wieght 8-10lbs (nice rubber) an foldable if needed, and lastly it has a nice BMW logo in the middle of it(cargo mat doesn't) and everytime I open the truck there is a nice BMW sitting in the middle ....best OEM addtion I've made and bought the exact same mat again for my new e70 when I got it (fyi e53,e70 are shaped different)

...its a must buy for $70, looks better, protects back, and you never have to vaccum the back again just pull out shake out put back :thumbup:

*I only put this because they make a harder $250 version that is rated to handle a certain class of chemical slips/battery acids....but whos gonna really need that much protection

Here is mine. This is a BMW OEM Cargo liner. They are made by Weathertech.

the one i just got looks like that one. never saw that one Galion has. i'm using my E53 tray it fits. it have to be the ones before 2002. after that the new one came out. anyone else doing that?
