Thanks RJH52! I’m going to have to order the mats after I get back from vacation.

I got sunshades for all windows from WeatherTech



They fit well, but it takes getting used to remember removing the side shades in the back.

I do like the cup holder inserts. Let me know if they fit without cutting. I might get them.

The cup holder coasters fit perfectly - no cutting required. They are like a soft bendable silcone material so it's easy to put them in and take them out as required. I like them.

Will let you know if it happens! Honestly, they’re pretty cheap so I wouldn’t lose any sleep, I’d be more worried about the NorCal tradition of breaking windows more than stealing valve caps.

Those coasters look neat. I also bought the PPF CAVtag pieces too and have been thinking about the mats, but so far the original mats seem to be holding up well.

I just applied my CAV decals using those custom pieces of PPF and it worked very well!

Just got my plates today and my floor mats. I will take some pictures of all the items I bought and post them here tomorrow (as long as it's not raining again).

[SkykingUSA]

Here are the photos of the items I bought. It did rain today, but I tried to wipe it down as much as I could - sorry for the dirty wheels.

Parts on display are:

1. All season floor mats (rubber).
2. Cup Holder Coasters
3. Red Valve Stem caps.
4. Black license plate frame.

The only items that are authentic BMW parts are the plate frames and the floor mats. The others are just third-party accessories.

I'm planning to get the windows tinted sometime this week, so I'll provide some more pictures once the tinting is done. Same thing when the HOV tags come in.

[Scrapula]

I sprung for the cup holder mats and black metal valve stem caps with the M logo. Thanks for the suggestions.

Y’all mounting your front license plates in California ? Dealer said it’s ugly and we haven’t done it so far.

I’m in Washington where it is required. I have always just put my plate on the dashboard wedged under the windshield.

My dealer delivered my car with no front plate mounter on the car, but I asked that it be added before I drove off so they did it quickly for me. I'd rather not have it on the front, but it's mandatory here and I heard that there were some in CA who had received tickets for not having it. I didn't want to take any chances.

No for me, in fact it's a hard pass on any car I buy. I haven't had a front license plate since my last hand me down automobile. Ever since I bought my first new car (I'm on my 6th since 2003) I've never run a front license plate in California. I've received 1 fix it ticket, it was near LAX. It's not a moving violation so it doesn't go against your driving record. One ticket, the cost of a bracket to temporarily mount my front plate, a visit to a sheriff's office are worth 20+ years of having a much better looking front end.

And before someone says it's just an LA thing, I've been all over the state, lived in 2 counties hundreds of miles apart and road tripped up and down 5, 99, 1, and 395. None of the municipalities care, nor should they; way bigger fish to fry out there.

Grabbed these items, too! I have used the seat cover for years in another vehicle and it has performed wonderfully!

The heavy rubber mats are great for protecting the carpet in winter. Not sure how much of that weather you get but we have all 4 seasons here and I use my rubber mats December to March and the carpet mats the rest of the year.

[SkykingUSA]

We get some rain in the winter but not much any other time. Luckily, the mats arrived the first day we had rain since I got the car, so I put them in and will probably keep them in for good. I just prefer the rubbery mats in a car compared to carpeting. I'm definitely happy with them and they fit perfectly.

I got my cup holder inserts from BMWCCA for my i4 and x3. They fit perfectly
