    I recently acquired the above car and loving it so far.

    When purchasing I knew it came without the cream floor mat for the front driver side but I did not realise how difficult it would be to replace. Everywhere that I have tried only offer the full set! No big surprise I suppose.

    Perhaps might any Boards.ie users know where I could buy a new OEM cream floor mat for front driver?

    Can't offer much help but maybe if you got the full set, you could flog the unused mats online to someone looking for just one? As a last resort like?

    No harm in getting a whole new set. Not very expensive and makes the car look a lot nicer. I bought a whole set when i got my first beamer.

    Would a black set look out of place? Cream will get ruined quick enough. Black doesnt look too out of place often and is far more practical.

    Don't forget to buy the fur for the steering wheel too
    The worst 20 euros you are ever going to spend...they are 20 euros for a reason.

    Never had a bmw, so didn't know if there was much of a difference.

    I've has 3 BMW's with cream interior. First thing I so is replace the mats for black ones. Tidies up the interior and it doesn't look as grubby as dirty cream ones.

    On another note, OP contact your local dealer and see if your car qualifies for the recent recall to the rear lights and the older battery clamp recall.
