All weather floor mats

So I got some new weather tech liners for my m5 this Christmas and I'm totally disappointed. I have had numerous weather tech mats in past cars (5+) and the quality I can tell you has gone down drastically. The rear set is super flimsy and the plastic quality is much lower than the fronts. The fronts no longer come with Velcro adhesives to attach and just have floor anchor spots, which the m5 doesn't have.

I get in and the mats slide all over the place just with my feet moving over them. Needless to say these are bound for a return and I'm disappointed.

Anyone have other suggestions? Looks like the BMW ones are generic '5' series mats which may be my only other option. Sorry this sounds just like I'm bitching!

The stock velcro circular pads which hold the carpet floor pads in place are removable. There is a flat blade screwdriver slot in the center that is used to twist them 90 degrees. Then pull them straight up to remove them. They have the T bottom retention hook on them. Then install the T bottom WeatherTech hooks and the WeatherTech liner hooks to those and stays in place.

Thanks! Just reviewed the invoice and it says retention clips but nothing in the container. Sent an email to customer service hopefully they will send the clips out soon!

I would pick up a set of the 3W mats for the G30. You can find them on Amazon.

+1. Just received mine today and installed them. They are flawless. The company never responded to my email about restocking, so I listened to you and purchased them on Amazon.
