Tux Mats

Just got email notification that Tux Mats are back in stock for anyone who has been waiting. Of course, I ordered a set before posting.

Seems like I made their day

They are lovely, enjoy! I got mine late 2022 for my 2023MY and the fit and coverage is great. Survived a Chicago winter still looking brand new (although my car is heavily babied…)

Glad to hear of your good experience, I'm looking forward to them.

Have had Weathertech for other vehicles, but they don't make them, so was happy to find out about TuxMats.

I watched some youtube videos of people who have them and it looks like TuxMats takes a different approach that includes a lot of desirable features that other durable, all-weather mats lack.

Now if only someone would make nice custom fit set of mudflaps. . .

Simply the Best

Have a full Tux Mat setup in my 2022 M240i. Survived their first winter here in MA (admittedly mild this year) and kept all the salt and sand out of the carpets. They are the best mats I've ever owned including OEM, Weather Tech, etc. It's not even close.

A few notes:
To clean them, I vacuum them, then wipe them down with a damp terry cloth or similar rag to get all the salt and dirt marks out. Works great but I wouldn't recommend pulling them out to hose them down as getting them out/in is a bit of work. I never find anything under them since they cover EVERYTHING so well, so not really an issue, but if you are used to pulling your mats and hosing them down, you will probably want to change it up.

To install the rear seating area one, I would suggest tucking the upper edge under the rear seat cushion. You will have to muscle it a bit to get it in there but you won't have to remove the seat or anything drastic like that. Once it's under there, it stays put and prevents anything from getting underneath it.

I know that a lot of you love the Tuxmats for the fit and coverage/protection but I personally dislike their look. To me, the design doesn't fit the sporty nature of the G42. I like my OEM all-weather mats and their design. Since I don't live in an area with crazy snowstorms or dirt-roads, I am ok with the coverage/protection that the OEM all-weather mats provide. No argument from me that it doesn't come close to what the tuxmats offer.

Completely agree with you. I bought OEM mats as well for non winter months because I though they looked way better. I even ran them this first winter with the car. After finally installing the TUX mats I will probably just leave them in year round because I do like the coverage for protecting the carpet. They definitely have a unique look lol.

Just got the interior mats today and really like them. They were fairly easy to install and fit pretty snug when using the supplied clips in the right spots. I know that some folks don't care for the look, but I think they pair well with the design of the Vernasca leather seats.

if you have the manual I would consider a different mat. the clutch pedal squeaks when you press it down all the way .
