Would you mind posting some pictures of how they fit in the first and second rows? Thanks!

I have the ones shown on the left with the moderate (not deep dish) edge lip; is this the one you would like to see photos of? I can take some if they are.

What's the main difference between the BMW floor mats vs the floor liners? I can't really see a difference looking at the pictures on line. What do you prefer?

Thanks. Primary interest is in the liners on the right, but would be interested in seeing the version you have as well. Do you have 2nd row bench or captain chairs? The WeatherTechs for the X7 2nd row bench are one piece and cover the floor in front of the middle seat (from what I can see) as well. From what I've seen, both versions of the BMW are two pieces and don't cover the middle floor.

depth. on some models it is the difference between one piece or two piece.

if you plan to switch out between carpeted and all-weather mats then the deep dish style will leave an irreversible wear mark along the edge where they end and on the pedals. secondly i am not a fan of having that much material around the accelerator.

I bought the weather tech brand ones since BMW wasn't offering the second row bench version at the time when I bought my vehicle. Work just fine

Thanks. I keep my all weather mats in all year since I live in CO ... always getting into a mess. I was wondering the same thing about the material coming that far up on the accelerator with the liners ... seemed a little odd to me.

When you have a moment, would you mind snapping some pictures of the 1st and 2nd row? WT only has a rendition of the driver's side on their site. Thanks!

iirc they're the same. simply rebranded as bmw instead of weathertech.

Interesting ... I had not heard that before. Here's what they're showing on their site for the M50. I do like that it's cut around the accelerator. I hate their god-awful-over-sized-logo-badge.

In the past that is how it has been. I haven't seen the X7 ones yet but take a look:

I did the BMW Mats in the front and Weathertech in the 2nd row because I have the bench and I wanted the middle protected as well.

Definately don't think the new ones are re-branded weather tech.

I had weathertechs in the past, and they are more plastic'y. These are more rubber. I like them, they actually feel more premium and I think provide great coverage and protection.

I have the Captain's.

I have always used the BMW liners with the 'moderate' (not deep dish) lip. They are more than sufficient to allow snow and slush to melt without issue.

Thanks for clarifying. Any photos?

Ditto from what I have seen. I put WT in my daughter's car and they get the job done for sure, but they don't look premium for sure. I can't stand the large WeatherTech badge ... especially fighting the M50 badge next to it ... 1st world problems

Perhaps that is why they no longer rebrand them and went with something better but in the past that is what their strategy was.

Just a public service announcement for future X7 buyers:

I have been leasing BMW's since 2007, have leased 8 different vehicles in that span, and have never paid for the OEM BMW All-Weather Liners.

The key is to wait until delivery day and as you're writing the checks and signing the paperwork to utter this phrase to your sales person: "All my other BMW's came with the all-weather liners, I was given them in exchange for a favorable review on Dealerrater, you are including them today, yes?"

They don't bat an eye. They just give them to you for asking. Hope this helps. No one should be paying for these.

Here are pics of my set up. Sorry these are post ski trip. The WT one's definitely are not the same quality as OEM but at the time, I wanted something that protects the mini hump. Plus, I'm never in the second row anyway.
(Wow, that front passenger one is really out of place, I'll go fix that now.)
