I got the plush mats from Bav auto and would NOT recommend them.
The coloring is wrong, and they feel cheap and flimsy.

The Genuine BMW mats with the reinforced heel pad are very high quality and reasonably priced with respect to some of the junk out there. They have the built-in hooks/pins to lock to the floor too. Plus they match the colors perfectly and last forever. If you can get a set for $89, you can't beat them.

I dig the BMW (oe) rubber mats...originally I thought I'd just use them for winter...but then spring, summer, and fall came and I just kept them in because they are soooo easy to take care of. Either a damp rag to wipe off prints etc...and just a simple dump to get rid of "chunkier" debris!
They are well made, stay pliable, can handle melting snow without dumping water onto the car's carpet, fit every nuance of the floor pan, and come with floor anchors to keep them snuggly in place. What more could you ask!?

You know what I never liked about rubber mats? They tend to hold water which keeps your feet wet -- especially if you're in and out of the car a lot in icy/snowy weather -- and when your shoes are wet, they slip of the pedals a lot easier. Plus, when they look awful with the least bit of dirt on them.

If the BMW rubber mats were flat...there'd be no argument...but the rubber mats design has to be considered in this situation...snow melts and runs down into the indented maze in the design of the mats...so your shoes are always on a dry surface...never sitting in water. Plus your driving foot is usually always elevated anyways (against the accelerator or brake pedal). And I would think that melted snow soaked into the fibers of a carpeted mat would pose the problem you present moreso than a non aborbant material like the rubber mats which have a designed channel to move liquids away from the top surface. As far as the dust left over after the water evaporates...instead of pulling out the vacuum to clean the mats or pulling the mats out to vaccum them...all it takes is a wipe with a damp cloth or towel...VOILA!
Is there any mat (carpet or rubber) that looks good with dirt on it?
Just for a change though...I might put the carpeted mats back in this spring.

those rubber mats are expensive...you can get some generic rubber mats for like $50 a set
