Hmmm, you raise another point to consider...which would be the color of the carpet & original mats.
If you have the anthracite/black carpet...the oe f06/f12/f13 specific rubber mats (ordered from the part database) have a textured design and sort of blend-in giving a "textured" look when you first open the doors.
BMW also sells rubber mats that are sold in the parts department that are kind of like the "generic" version...which have a slightly different design and come in multiple colors (black/gray/sand). And you also have the aftermarket rubber mats:
Then there are the "liners" which I believe are manufactured by WeatherTech and have the BMW label slapped on them.
If you have light colored carpet, then using the anthracite/black all weather mats or liners...will give a slight different look due the contrast. If you use the all weather mats that are colored...then that will give a slightly different look.
Then there's always the velour carpeted mats, too.
