Favourite OEM or aftermarket accessory?

jar311 · 03-16-2024, 01:21 AM

I’ve been browsing the shopbmwusa store as well as Amazon looking at accessories like floor mats, cupholders, even a BMW branded pen haha. Any must-haves for your new 5 series?

I got these to wipe the huge curved display.

I got the same error. You can only use them to wipe the screens on certain models I guess.

I don't know if it was an error or not, but when I ordered I actually received an entire box of about 10. Not sure if the dealer made a mistake and was only supposed to give me one out of the box or not, but I was happy.

I went large on a set of these:

Yeah I got the same error too.

I might need to order this in the morning.

I said I had a 2023 X5 and skipped entering the VIN and it worked. That's how I ordered them.

I’ve considered these in the past. The plain silver metal hex caps that come on the car are so much better than plastic caps so these logo metal caps are probably equally nice. With the added benefit of the logo of course.

Yeah - the plastic caps felt really odd on a $90K car

Ah, so the ones you got are actually metal and not plastic like some of the others? Good to know! It doesn't say what material they are made from in the description, so thanks!

ntailor · 03-17-2024, 08:21 AM

Used to buy the logo caps but they always go "missing"

From the factory mine have had the metal hex shaped caps. Then after tire R&R at either the dealer or independent shop they go missing and I have replaced them with the grey plastic ones from auto zone. Functional but not as good as metal. I recently discovered there’s even a BMW part number for the metal ones.

I purchased the same floor mats. I really like them they fit nice and snug and don’t move at all.

Yes, I saw that. It was your picture that gave me the idea of all red. Thanks!

Great to know, thanks! They should arrive Saturday, so I'm looking forward to protecting the carpet. How did you pull the existing one out? Do you just yank them up at the connectors or is there a special way to release them? I don't want to break anything.

I just pulled them right by the connectors. Then the new ones snap right in

OHV_44 · 03-28-2024, 05:20 AM

My hub caps are now black/white too.

DHDCF · 03-29-2024, 05:20 PM

The floormats are nice. I had purchased originally for my 23 i4 and they fit my m60 perfectly.

Scrapula · 03-29-2024, 09:07 PM

I must be weird that I prefer carpet floor mats. I would like a thicker, plusher pile but haven’t found anything like that.

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