    Trying to find floor mats that actually fit a convertible...

    I've got a 92 318 and have been looking for a set of front floor mats that fit perfectly... As the OEM ones are NLA, I'm left looking at aftermarket options.

    After searching, I ordered from both Weathertech and Matwise, as both got good reviews. I contacted each vendor, ahead of the purchase, and verified they fit the convertible. Ehh. I don't find either solution an acceptable fit.

    I also tried the OEM convertible floormats from my e46 ZHP convertible, as those are rumored to fit. They dont fit either.. WTH

    Open to recommendations from others about what actually fits a convertible.

    Try a 1-series mat. A friend gave been his old genuine BMW mat and it fits my coupe and sedan pretty well. The convertible has taller rockers, and I'm not sure if the dead pedal is wider or in a different location.

      I have a pair of E36 M coupe mats in my vert but they only come in sets of 2, so the rears won't match. No, the fitment isn't perfect but it's not terrible either. Click image for larger version  Name:	IMAG0840_zps3de61d13 (1).jpg Views:	0 Size:	65.4 KB ID:	10093827

              Why don't you post a picture here? We all want to see what you're selling.

                Good call with the scammer/bot reports, thanks guys.



                As to the OP, I have Lloyd Mats Ultimat Floor Mats (Black) Front, Rear, & Trunk in the E30

                (and Front mats in my Miata.)

                My E30 isn't a vert though so YMMV.

                  Thanks... they do claim that they make a separate mat for convertibles...

                  - do the mats have anything that secures them to the carpet?
                  - you have a pic of yours?

                  Thanks!

                    You're really scamming $100 floormats on random internet forums. That's quite sad.

                      Here is the passenger side. I'll snag a pic of the driver's side when I get home from work today.


                      I don't think I ever took a photo of the trunk mat, but it's pretty Lux. Trunk is apart at the moment as I just installed some sound deadening, I'll try to remember to grab a photo when I put it together and post it here.

                      The mats did come with some securing items/hooks, but I haven't needed to use them.
                      BMWs (with floor mount gas pedals) are less risky with unsecured mats VS a traditional top mount pedal. (The risk is getting a slippery/aftermarket mat wadded up under the brake pedal.)

                        Front floor mat, excuse the dirt please.

                        Covers the dead pedal as well. Helps with vibration I've found.

                          thanks... btw, this is what the OEM convertible mat should look like. It's notched differently:
