Which floor mat?

[mvliotta]

Hello FAQers,

Hope everyone is doing well.  
 

I am thinking about finally getting real floor mats. 
 

‘72 tii with black interior, salt and pepper carpet. Current exterior in Polaris (or close to it), but will be repainting to the original Ceylon in the Not-to-distant future. 
 

More interested in making sure it will be right for the long term Ceylon exterior than the current Polaris. 
 

Been checking out Coco mats site, but nothing is jumping out at me. 
 

Suggestions for Coco mat color or other options??

black & grey checkers, though the black/grey coco is also sharp

Yeah black and gray coco or maybe the black and gold. Most important is how it fits around the pedals.

Cocomats.com.  Have spoken with them at The Vintage and been by their shop.  They have lots to choose from and told me when my car is finally ready to bring it by and they would measure it for the correct fit.

I am not a big fan of Coco. Too "busy" for my eyes. I wanted something dark blue for my blue interior and working with esty, finally came up with a solution. 

 

I purchased the exact sisal  rug I wanted for the interior. Had it shipped directly to esty. Lo and behold, a couple weeks later the perfect, for me, carpets arrived. A buddy who has Coco in his tii and coupe approved.

 

Problem solved.

I got salt and pepper floor mats from only02.com

I ended up not replacing my mats a few years ago, but check out Esty's BMW Carpets.  She has quite a few custom salt and pepper mats for that OEM and period correct look.

Thanks for all the suggestions!!

 

Some sort of salt and pepper carpet mat is probably the way to go 

 

Is anyone making rubber mats?

Don't forget esty, Vince

 

Had Fred on a 70 mile jaunt up and back on the Taconic this morning. Other than the two NYS Trooper speed traps with 4 cops on the north side alone, it was great to be out and about in the 02! Did not get pulled over.

Perfect day for a drive, Nick! Will certainly take a look at what Esty has as options.

COCO is cool, COCO is stylish, but it's thicker than most other mats.  Sometimes to the point of making working the pedals seem uncomfortable. (at least in my '75 SAAB 99 more than a few years ago).

Got Esty mats a year or so ago to cover the Esty carpet. Some type of woven grassy material. ( Not hemp. I know what you're thinking! Maybe not a bad idea though) Look good. Not as flashy as Coco. Fits great and good price. Great Esty quality. The Coco colors can be cool though if that's your style.

These are available again; OE BMW Cocoa mats.  They come in Black and white, Brown and also in Black and blue speckled which is the one I got for my Polaris car.  It goes great with the underlying salt and pepper carpet.   They are beautiful and have the BMW logo on the rubber part.  Atlanta BMW classic has them and so does Bulnttech.

This is new to me...great to hear. 
 

Lots of great options. Will go with either the black/gray mats from cocomats or the OE BMW mats referenced above. 
 

Does not look like there are any rubber mat options out there at the moment.

+1 for Esty.

 

I had an original BMW Cocoa mat set in my Touring. The front driver side one was a mess, even though I regularly beat the #$%& out of it to get the dirt/dust out.

 

This time around I went with Esty mats same pattern as the carpet (also Esty). Much, much better.
