Quick story: Many years ago, my E34 was at a shop for a few days. Thieves stole the ugly "basket weave" wheels. The owner of the shop felt bad and ended up giving me a used set of wheels that looked way better!!

Seeing rubber mats got me excited but the BMW Genius burst my bubble. But the kid in me is still holding out hope. I won't be disappointed if it's just the regular carpet but rubber mats would be an amazing surprise.
That said, I don't get why it's not an upgrade option. I imagine it would save a lot of carpeted mats from going direct to landfill. Back in the day BMW's didn't come with any mats and the dealer presented them as a "gift" at delivery and if they were carpet you could politely ask to pay the difference for rubber.

That said, the floor mats you currently have may not fit properly. My advise is to just get the OEM all weather mats specific to your vehicle. I have tried a few but always come back to the OEM.
For the wheel locking nuts, order from your local BMW shop. They aren’t expensive. Keep the key in the vehicle. BMW shops (and some non-BMW shops) have a master key if you forget to bring yours for tire change tasks.
