Oh now I understand what you mean between the carpeted ones and this kagu one! Haha didn't realize it until comparing the pictures.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but can anyone who owns these tell me what matches the factory carpet better, the gray or black?

I believe the ones pictured above are the black KAGU (non carpeted) ones. I had them in my prior car and loved them as well.

I now have in my X5 the CARPETED version which I like even better. They are the same, but the carpeted ones have a super thin layer of super tough carpet on top of them. Still 100% waterproof and tough as nails - just gives it a bit of a better look and much more sound proofing. My old KAGU ones would be a shade noisy when you move your feet around on them just like the WeatherTechs, etc.

If your feet will be muddy a LOT - I'd go with the KAGU. If not - I'd check out the carpeted version. I will get these from now on for sure. They are both great though.

I like the carpeted ones, very similar to the Lund Catch All mats I had in my Tahoe. In photos it looks like they may cover the door sill trim plate. Do they or is that just the angle of the pic?
Is the black, true black or dark charcoal like the factory carpet? If I can't get them to match the carpet, I may just get the kagu ones and only use them in bad weather. Really would prefer the carpeted style for full time use though, since we live in the desert and track a lot of sand and small gravel into the vehicles.

They actually do cover a little over half of the door sill. They don't cover it completely, but cover enough that an occupant sitting in the seat can't get his foot on to it. They also cover about 90% of the dead pedal in the driver seat and go back far enough that the back Edge is a little under the seat when I'm at my driving position. I've never accidentally got in my foot off them in normal driving positions.

This is my first set of the carpeted. The pictures do not do them Justice. They match much better in person. The carpet is almost two tone and the lighter tone is a good match for my tan interior, so it's almost like a matching contrast. My camera just won't capture it correctly. I have never had a set of black carpeted ones, only the non carpeted ones which I've had two different sets of. But if the black is like the tan and has that two tone look to it I think it would match perfectly.

If you are an Amazon Prime member you could probably order them and send them back for no cost if they're not exactly right. Or order both and send back the ones that do not match.

I have had mine for over 2 years now and I still love them. if they make them for whatever my next vehicle is I will buy them again no questions asked.

Okay, I'm getting the KAGU for sure after seeing the overlap. This is great protection with muddy feet, but would drive me nuts if it was like that all the time.

Does anyone know what goes better with the stock carpet, black or gray? Hard to tell if the gray is dark enough or more of a medium gray.
The pics by coverstyle in this thread make the black look like a perfect match to the carpet.

Either way - even if you take them in our out - the carpet ones are the exact same - just with a mini-layer of super tough carpet. The pro's and Cons are the same even if you take them in and out.

Here you can see it with the door closed and open. And you can see how they stand up to boots - which is why they were dirty in these pictures from my farm weekend - but I went at lunch and vac them right out. I love them. That lip up onto the sill insures if you dump a gallon of milk in there - it will hold it all in. It is not "flapping" over up there - it is molded to it if that makes sense?

I've had them both and they never let me down, but I wish I would have went carpet with my last one as I would have left them in all year long! You'll like either I am sure.

I got the non carpeted ones. Didn't like the 3d logo, so I swapped it for an M logo. Just what it needed, another M logo, lol. Had to put something to fill the space where the 3d logo was.

That is a great idea. How did you do that? I wish Kagu would just ship the mat without the logo, as it really ruins the look.

Popped the old one off. It has clips holding it on the back that have to be cut out pryed off. I heated the area on a lower setting of the heat gun until it softened a bit and pushing the new emblem hard in place to give it the shape. Glued the news emblem on with a few drops of Goop, flexible adhesive. Took about 10 minutes to do both mats.

For the X5 I wanted something in between as I just needed something to keep the snow and salt out in the winter, yet still look like normal floor mats. They are a perfect compromise for the X5, but I would not want them in my other SUV.

They are the same liner underneth, one just adds a tiny layer of carpet to them.

Do you have a link to the carpeted ones? I'm only seeing the Kagu line on Amazon. I saw them in person and thought they looked great for an all weather mat, carpeted would be even better.

I got mine off Amazon but it's been several years. I have the fronts and the middle seats in carpet but my cargo one is the non-carpet. maybe they're not making them anymore? maybe check ebay? or just Google shopping?

I found em eventually...unfortunately the carpeted ones are only currently available in black in the front, not in the back. And tan would look odd with my interior. I'll hold off to see if they come in stock before my next ski trip.

The original versions were for the front only. It looks like the 3D F&R (new version) carpet mats are available for F15 but cost a pretty penny more the original set.

Thanks for the links. They look good, potentially as good as the factory ones which I didn't really find to be as high quality as previous BMWs I've had. I figure my two options are to mismatch the front carpet ones off amazon with the non-carpet back one (about 70 + 70), or shell out the extra hundred bucks for matching carpet ones from one of the vendors you listed.

I bought my front and rear carpet ones separately probably about 4 years ago???

I have also had the KAGU one in 2 other vehicles of mine and liked them too - but the carpet ones are the best of all worlds to me. I leave them in year round and everyone is shocked when I tell them they are all weather and not to worry about their shoes. With the KAGU I swapped back and forth - with these I just leave them in - they look great.

Worst thing about that company is their marketing and availability. It's almost nonexistent.

Also - I just looked and it seems they have added to the line.

Those 'elegant' ones look nice, out of stock though. Too bad shipping from any of these sites (3dmats, autoanything, summit) will take way too long for my needs. I was about to pull the trigger today until I got to checkout and saw their shipping times.

Now my options are anything that's on Amazon since I need it before Feb 18, the BMW mats are the same price as Maxpider and I may just get those instead...little less practical but it's OEM which is nice, velcros to the factory pads etc.

My car came with the BMW OEM All Weathers and I hated them. They are thick and stiff as shit - at least mine were. Even with the velcro I still had to chase them around a little. Your experience might be better than mine, but I didn't care for them.

That fine "fuzz" on the back of the Maxpider 3D holds them in place 100% - they never move an inch on me.

If you lived close - I'd give you my BMW ones to tied you over!

I appreciate the offer! Thanks for the advice on the BMW ones...maybe its best to avoid them. I've always hated rubber mats frankly but the Kagu looks better than rubber.

Do you know if this "classic" mat is the one you have? The loop of the carpet looks different, but if this is good enough then I'm fine with this in the front and Kagu in the back since it's convenient to have a place to set wet/dirty/oily things within arms reach.

How about Findway mats?

I know a lot of people have the BMW all weather and like them - but I did not. They seem to be too "thick" and stiff. The gaps around mine drove me nuts and the sound of my feet moving around on them reminded me of a Mack truck.

In my opinion - the KAGU ones are far better than the OEM ones as they fit like a glove and do not move around - ever. It's almost like the entire underside is covered in a sort of mild velcro and grabs the carpet. Still easy to remove, but they do not slide around.

I think the carpet ones take it one step further and give the sounds deadening and feel of normal velour mats with the all weather protection of the KAGU. About 1-2 times a year I pull them out and simple green them and then power wash them and they look new again. And I hunt in mine, so they see mud covered muck boots and all that occasionally, not just a little snow on my loafers.

The "Elegant" ones looks closest to what I have - and might be the same. I have them in the front and back and then the KAGU liner in the cargo area. So far I have not even considered I should have gotten something else - they have been exactly what I hoped when I got them.

I like the all KAGU set up I had in 2 prior vehicles too, but the carpet ones just took it to another level for me. I'd buy them again at twice the price.
