The original mats were looking very tatty and grubby so to save a few pounds I purchased a plain “premium” set from Carmats4U with green/blue stitching approx. £44. I had a little trouble with them but eventually they sent out a second driver’s mat with stitched in the Velcro tape on the back to hook up to the original BMW carpet disc fixings.
I then bought 4 keyrings with the metal circular fobs from AliExpress, all 4 for around £14 delivered, cut and filed the chains off and clear lacquered them 3-4 coats with a touch in brush for protection, I trimmed the pile to allow the badge to sit more flush and bonded them in with contact adhesive.
I’ll use them for a daily summer set, I have the BMW all-weather set for winter, see how long they last.
