Recommended floor mats and cargo liners for the BMW i4?

Question

So I finally took delivery of my i4 eDrive40 last week and Im already stressing about the interior. Ive been a BMW guy for a decade, had the F30 and a G20, and I usually just grab the OEM rubber mats from the dealer and call it a day but the ones they showed me for the i4 felt... thin? Like they arent the same quality as they used to be and the coverage seemed a bit skimpy. Plus with the specific floor layout on the EV I want to make sure I get the coverage right around the dead pedal and under the seats since my kids already tracked mud in today.

Im looking for a set that hits these points:

Must be high-walled for heavy rain since Im up in Seattle and its basically a swamp 8 months a year

Cargo liner needs to be grippy so my camera gear doesnt slide around the trunk every time I take a corner

Needs to look sleek, not like a rugged off-road mat because it clashes with the interior trim

Budget is around $300 for everything

Has anyone tried the TuxMat or 3D MAXpider in the i4 yet? I heard there might be fitment issues with the floor hump in the back compared to the gas 4 series. I need to get these ordered by next week before we head out on a road trip...

Building on the earlier suggestion, unfortunately many premium brands are currently backordered or overpriced. I had issues with the texture on some cheaper sets; they just werent as good as expected. Smartliner Custom Fit Floor Mats for BMW i4 is basically your best bet for staying under budget while getting full coverage. Quick tip: Make sure you clean the floor anchors before installing so they dont rattle. TL;DR: Smartliner is the most logical choice if you want to save money.

Jumpin in with some other thoughts since I went through this same hunt recently. If you're tryin to stay under that $300 mark for the whole set, WeatherTech FloorLiner HP for BMW i4 is a decent mid-range option. The HP version is a rubber-like TPE material so it isnt as stiff or plasticky as their old school mats, which helps it blend in with the i4 cabin better. The walls are high enough for Seattle puddles and it covers the dead pedal area pretty well. For the cargo area, Lloyd Mats Rubbertite Cargo Liner for BMW i4 is basically built for what you need. It has a heavy rubber texture that keeps things from sliding around, which should save your camera gear from hitting the walls. Its not as sleek as a molded tray, but for pure grip, it beats the plastic ones every time. One thing to watch out for is the rear floor. The i4 battery makes the floor slightly different than the ICE 4-series, so some older mats have a weird gap near the vents under the front seats. I usually check i4Talk or the Bimmerpost subforums for specific fitment photos before pulling the trigger. Mixing these two brands should keep you right around your budget while getting the best of both worlds for protection and grip.

I'd suggest TuxMat Floor Mats for BMW i4 Custom Fit. Be careful tho, make sure to grab 3D MAXpider KAGU Series Cargo Liner for BMW i4 if you need better trunk grip.
