If it’s the Velcro pad on the underside of the floor mat…you can try picking up some new peel-n-stick Velcro pads from a fabric store or other vendors that sell Velcro pads to replace the failing Velcro on your carpeted mats. If the issue is the hook & loop pad…those can be replaced…or if the h&L pad is full of debris…cleaning out the debris from the hooks & loops would restore its ability to stick to the Velcro on the back side of the carpeted mats.
What is the problem with your hook & loop pad? Is it not turning into the lock built into the floor pan below the carpet? Have you tried pressing down a bit harder then turning it 45° which should lock it into place…or are you just inserting the bayonet down into the carpet and not locking it into the floor pan?
Has the bayonet failed (broken) on the one that keeps slipping out? If not, take your screwdriver and put some downward pressure on it…then turn to lock it in place. If memory serves me correct…I believe the bayonet should be inserted through the carpet with its edges running front to back…then you lock it into place by turning it where the bayonet is running side to side.

Will try that QS, thank you. Was never aware there were openings in the floor pan to lock those. Currently I have the screw type pads that screw into the carpeting (used on other chassis Bimmers I believe) as I had them "in stock" in the parts cache from other mat purchases.
