Want a new set of car mats for my E70 X5 so called my local BMW dealer for a quote.

The guy on the phone said £132.

I replied "no no, I wanted a set of car mats"!

Is it me or is £132 a lot for 4 small bits carpet?

I am looking for good quality mats which are model specific, but at the same time don't want to be ripped off.

Are there alternatives that people have tried?

Hi I know its seems a lot of money ( and yes it is ) BUT I bought the tailered mats for my X5 E53 over 7 years ago and they still look almost new, the quality is superb.
A very good investment IMHO.
Just paid £50 recently for a set of tailered mats for my new Astra GTC, they are total rubbish, after a couple of moths they look like scrap  >:( >:( >:(.

Sounds like a proper stealers price, try Motorforce in South Shields, they used to do great pricing on OEM mats, they'll probably do mail order these days too

Personally I went for the fitted BMW rubber mats. Easy clean and for a rubber mat they look good. Ideal if you have kids too.

Mine lasted really well over the 5 years I had the car and we are talking high use and lots of forest trips dogging.....sorry taking the dog out walking

Luckily for me I do have a dog which is a good cover, nobody can understand why I walk her at strange times of the day though......
