      FWIW, this happened to me with eEuroparts.com.

      They listed silver OE floormats for $139.00. After waiting a month, I finally found out that silver is NLA. The silver mats are still on their site. They have been NLA for years.

      But, I really did strike gold later on.

      I was on S14 searching for mats when I found a FS thread for silver, NIB, OE mats. A bunch of people had posted wanting to buy. A bunch of people posted YGPM. The thread was a year old. So, I checked out the seller's profile, and voila, there was an email address. A week later, for $125 shipped, I had a NIB, OE set of silver mats (all four) ;D

      Don't give up.

        Hopefully I can get a set before the raining season start, or I'll have to buy a cheap set from Autozone.

              Just get a set of e82/88 mats. They are almost identical.

              BMW needs to come out with these mats again...

                I'm getting mix review on those. Some says get z3 and others says e46. Post some pictures if you guys have any other BMW floor mats in your e30.

                            How long ago did these mats go NLA? That sucks because I usually buy extras of parts that I think they'll quit making. I bought a set of indigo blue in 2011 and a set of black in 2012.

                                redsubdivisions here on r3v was selling these mats earlier this year.

                                I just now got off the phone with Crevier and they say that there are six black sets left at the warehouse... who knows how many are at the distribution center in Germany.

                                If Mobile Tradition (or whatever they are called now) is indeed reissuing popular parts for our chassis, I would imagine mats will be available again through them.
