Which color all weather mats...Black or Beige?

I have a crimson red e92 w/ beige interior.

I went to get some all weather mat at the dealer the other day.

He suggested the black instead of the beige because the beige is not really the same color as the interior. Cross between beige and nutmeg.

I didn't have the car with me at the time however I was wondering if anyone has the beige interior with the beige mats and can comment on how they look.

Thanks!!

I like black, good contrast with most interirors, and neutral.

Either way, rubber is a winner though, so whatever you like is good

I have a similar color combo, and opted for "beige" when I took delivery w/o seeing them in person. You are correct in that they are not the color of the carpeting/interior, but they hide winter's detritus quite well. I had a G35 w/all-weathers that matched the ivory interior, and they NEVER looked clean. I think black would be too jarring a contrast.

True, since dirt is also brown

But I've never had a problem with black, just watch what you step on when you're outside

Black mats look great with beige - I had that combo in my X5 and it really helped to break up that sea of beige quite nicely...

Black mats for sure. I have gray interior and originally purchased gray mats but it got visually dirty too quick, annoyed me so I switched to black mats.

What color is the carpet? Go the same color.

They are mats, you barely see them.

I had both a set of black carpet and rubber floor mats in my old E90 which had a beige interior. I thought it looked great, adding some much needed contrast. Black also hides the dirt better, the beige carpet mats get nasty looking very quickly...

Is cream the same thing as beige?
If so, get the black. I have cream and my dash is black.
I opted for the beige mats, but wish I would have done black.

Black for my beige interior, to provide contrast, match the black dash, and hide dirt better.

If they are rubber winter mats, I'd go with beige to match carpet. Should be able to spray them off lickity split when they get dirty. I have the feeling this will be a 50/50 vote.
