Received all and the quality on the tux mats are good. Weathertech as you probably already experienced, are more of a hard plastic whereas tux mats are like a vinyl outer with a little foam inside to give it some texture.
F83G05 wroteHere are some additional pictures in my vehicle.I went with the BMW set, they make both a high-rise side and a low rise. I went with the low rise because I plan on keeping them in year round. If you have the diamond stitching on your seats, the design on the mat really brings the look together.
All lack the circular velcro patches and lack bottom surface features that would grab the carpet. Nubs would help!
Front ones fit tight and stay put.
Rear ones shift enough to matter. I had to return/exchange one of them, as its corner nearer the BMW logo was slightly raised such that debris would get underneath and passengers would nudge the mat when entering. Maybe it got warped in retail storage.
The all-weather cargo mat is good quality, and allows you to lift the floor hatch w/o removing it. Though, it actually does not fit the cargo footprint along the side lobes. Yep, the mat covers the lashings near the hatch. Oddly, the mat surface shows an outline of the lashing areas.
The Wtech cargo mat is an example that seems to fit the side contours.
For all above, the mat top surface is rough and marks easily (esp. cargo). IMO, that makes them harder to clean. The heavier, rubber OEM mats I had before had a smooth finish. The bottom surface should have numbs to grab the underlying carpet.
Great coverage and the fitment is superb. If you live in a heavy snow/salt area your carpets will be pristine.

You can't buy just the front. I started with OEM mats (not floor liners) but they were too thin and small for winter coverage (will run them in summer).
Just got the 3D Maxspider mats for front and like them - don't have rear seat passengers in winter really.
F83G05 wroteI ordered a set of the "taller sides" OEM all weather mats and share the confusion around the velcro (or lack of velcro).... only the driver side had the Velcro...
From what I can tell, BMW only feels velcro is needed on the driver front mat and not on the passenger or rear mats? I say this because:
1. the driver mat is the only one with velcro (actually; not velcro, but rather the soft loopy material designed to be attached to velcro hook material)
2. the driver mat box came with a pair of adapters and instructions showing we should remove what came with the vehicle and install these into the floor. These clearly hold on to the driver side mats very very well. maybe too well to allow removal for cleaning?

SeekTheFinest I looked at WeatherTech and TuxMats, but ultimately came back to the OEM mats. They look great, fit great, and so far have been perfect height-wise. I watched a lot of videos on WeatherTech, and they always seemed to bend and lose shape. Someone here mentioned they changed the material, so maybe that isn't an issue anymore (which would be good!). But as a whole, didn't love the look of any others except the OEMs. Been very happy with them this winter. GetBMWparts.com is a great site to pickup OEM items at a discount (code BORY saved me a little more as well). Hope this helps!
