So I finally took delivery of my i4 eDrive40 in Portimao Blue yesterday. It is currently sitting in my driveway in Seattle and I think I've spent more time just looking at it than actually driving it so far. Coming from a 2012 3 series, this thing feels like a spaceship and I am honestly a bit terrified of scratching something or ruining the interior already. I'm mainly using it for my 40-mile daily commute but I have a road trip down to the Oregon coast planned for next month so I want to get the car fully equipped before that happens.

I’ve been doing some digging on what people actually buy first and I keep seeing mixed reviews on the screen protectors for that huge curved display. Some people say it’s a must-have because of fingerprints but then others claim the glare is awful and it ruins the look of the dash, so I'm really torn on whether to bother with that. Also I've been looking at floor mats because it rains constantly here in Washington. I saw a bunch of people recommending TuxMat over the OEM BMW ones because they have better coverage, but I’m worried they might look a bit too industrial for the i4 cabin? I want it to be protected but still look like a premium car.

My budget for these initial add-ons is around $600 and I definitely need a center console organizer since that storage area is just one deep hole where my keys and wallet are gonna disappear. Does anyone have specific recommendations for a good trunk liner too? I'm gonna be throwing my wet hiking boots back there and dont want to ruin the carpet. Just curious what you guys actually use daily and what was a total waste of money. I'm especially looking for stuff that fits the interior vibe without being too clunky...

Congrats on the Portimao Blue! I've had mine for a few months now and I still catch myself looking back at it every time I park. For the rain, I was worried about the TuxMats looking like a truck interior, but TuxMat BMW i4 Custom Floor Mats actually look really high-end once they are installed. They cover so much more carpet than the OEM ones, which is a lifesaver when things get muddy and gross. Here is what I am currently running that has worked well for me:
