Happy Christmas everyone.
Hope ye are all well.
This morning after a few pressies.
The wife gave me a box with genuine BMW E39 floor mats.
She bought them from the dealer.
I can't believe how poor the quality is.
I'm shocked.
I'd get better for 30 quid off eBay.
Can I return them ?
It says in t's & c's that it's 7 days from deliver.
But she got them a couple of weeks ago.
Doubtful, it's entirely at the Dealer's remit. You have up to 14 days if it was sold online/via the phone under distance selling regulations - but unless the mats are damaged on opening, you're not entitled to anything under the sales of goods & services act because you don't like the quality.
And yes, that sucks.
On the other hand, this idiot on eBay thinks a set of M3 mats are worth £1200!

I wonder at what stage did bmw decide to sell utter sh1te mats.
The originals are better than these.
And they're 14 years old.
Aren't there 2 different quality oe mats, city mats are the cheaper and thinner ones right?

I think it was about 8 years ago but I paid €130 for the higher quality mats for the e39.
Cheers Fellas.
I'll be into them.
Thanks for the replies.
Appreciate it.
Just to put this to bed. Went to the dealer where mats were bought.
Got a stonewall " 'no' we can't take them back. They're the correct mats."
I even brought my 14 year old genuine, original e39 mats in to show the parts guy. To show the gulf in quality.
Nope. Wouldn't budge.
Can't get over the low quality of mat that were sold to me as genuine.
Honestly you'd get better in Halfords.
Last time I presume the OEM way is the best way to go.
€155 quid well spent. (Not).
Can you post a picture of the two?
Your part number is for velours as said above already , they are the best of the mats (thickest - highest quality ) they must have changed suppliers over the last few years and spec now differs from original it's a kick in the balls after paying so much alright
I sold a few sets of these maybe 2-3 years ago now and you can tell straight away just from the weight which are velours when I got them they were end of line old stock I thought they were being discontinued at the time but obviously not
