Re: Look at these carmats....

The M5 logo is nice, but the colored BMW propeller is a bit "turkish-styling" No offence against Turkish people, just a saying.

Re: Look at these carmats....

The full color roundels are a little over the top.. too "in your face." I wonder how the ///M5 mats would look in black. The "m" looks a little odd, but a nice job overall.

Re: Look at these carmats....

The roundel mats are a little too "loud" for my taste, nice idea though. I like the subtle ///M logo's on the BMW mats.

Re: Look at these carmats....

Wait, were those made for a BMW? I couldnt tell. Also a little too in your face for me, not to mention the white on the roundel would prove to be a pain to keep white, unless you 3M scotchguarded it. Not for me.

I agree. Might be OK if the color logos were on the front mats only.

Re: Look at these carmats....

Are the BMW logo carmats backlit?
Do they glow in the dark?
Can I get them in the same color as the purple neon under my car?

There are already something like 14 or 18 M5 logos on the car. More big logos is not a good thing. IMHO

MAYBE... if I were putting my car on the Pebble Beach Concours. My car!!! Not likely.

Nah, the roundel needs to be bigger. Too much of the plain beige backround is showing...
