Do I have to remove original carpet mat and use this mat only?

Yes, these are designed to fit where the stock carpet mats sit, through the same eye-loops etc. They are easy to remove though. The floor carpet remains.

No, you will not need a mat. I have mine on thin carpet and have no issues.

Do you mean over the original mats? If that is the question, the answer is no. You must remove the original mats first and replace them with the new ones. It even says it on the purchased mats DO NOT PLACE OVER OTHER MATS. The purchased mats will need all the space to be pushed over the hook.

Absolutely, not a problem. I have the same type of installation and love that warm carpet.

well you can use it with or without it. So far, mine is still in place the original but I believe you can put another sole from another kind .

Hi Cynthia, the answer to your question is "No". I have the mats that came with the car still underneath, but there is minimal sliding. So from time to time, I readjust all 4 mats.

If, as the last responder noted, you're referring to the carpeted floor mats then yes, those need to come out because the slush mats use the same pegs on the floor that the carpeted mats use to keep them from sliding around. However, if you mean the actual carpeting itself, then no, these go in over that.

you can remove the oval clips from your old mats and do the same to the new ones and swap then. the clips seperate.

I did without incident.. in fact I now have it on a carpet rug on carpet since I am in a rental with nice carpet... but even direct on carpet I had no issues... it does mention in the instructions to put a mat under it on carpet incase of leaving marks from the motor... but has never been an issue for me and I have both the red and the black model.

Hi,How do you know which side is the shiny one? For me both sides are the same in the original mat. Thanks

I would, just to protect the carpet from the equipment. You can find inexpensive matting or gym pads at Sears.

No - It's not like the mat you put under the chair by your computer...its WAY thinner. Ours keeps getting crumpled up when we move the chair around so its not my favorite purchase. However, for the price it does the job of protecting the carpet. I don't try my vacuum over it as I'm sure it would try suck up the edges - I just shake off crumbs and/or wipe it down with a cloth.

Yes you can replace the existing carpet with the weathertech mats they fit perfectly with the carpet anchors.

Hi, 2007 to 2012 takes the same Carpet floor mat set, which is the 0000-8B-M09

Yes, just choose the right configuration and mat will fit using the pegs your factory mats use. I think it's much better, very easy to clean, fits great, no worry about spills, messes, or cleaning carpets....just wipe down the mats. Mat hasn't moved since I installed it, I would buy again.

You do need to take off the old pads because they have absorbed skin oils and are losing elasticity and adhesion. This will also impede the conductivity between the unit and the skin, so it will eventually begin to make the unit fault and malfunction. Just install the new pads the same as you did the original ones.

The mats I purchased came with the circles to insert into the carpeting and then the mats adhere to that "Velcro-like" circle. My 330i came with those circles installed, so I did not have to install anything.
