How to keep my floor mats from sliding?

I have been looking everywhere for an answer but have no clue how to keep my floor mats anchored to the carpet. I have the oem M floor mats which came with a screw in velcro pad but there is no place to screw it in. I tried using adhesive velcro strips to keep it down but it just kept sliding off, can anyone share a picture of how they have theirs installed?

Here is what mine looks like

Honestly I found the OEM floor mats lacking, mine are in OK shape and I keep them in the basement. Bought a set of Coco Mats with a heal pad - heavy, don't move around and look factory.

Not my car but I have the exact same set (and car color...)

I have the OEM all weather mats and have the same problem. No hook for them to latch on to!

And I have CoCo mats in Red/Black and they DO NOT slip....in fact, they are designed to finish WAY below the seats and fit snug and perfect...they are the last word in quality and fitment.

That is actually my original Z4M, pic taken 9/25/07, just over a month after I bought it.

Over a decade later the first thing I bought for my second one was cocomats, had 'em waiting when the car came off the truck. Photos do these mats no justice, they are far and away the best-quality mats I've ever owned. And they are so heavy, and also have a nubbed surface on the rubber bottoms, that they will NEVER move at ALL. Here's my current set...





Demand the genuine article from cocomats.com - many cheap imitations out there and they're all of inferior quality.

Those are looking really nice! How have they been wearing? I know the oem mats I have are already starting to show tons of wear and almost need replaced regardless.

I have had mine for 2+ years, roughly 15K miles on the car in that period of time without any significant wear - the heel pad takes the brunt of it and is holding up well.

In that Interlagos Z4MC - I actually wore a hole through the mat on the driver's side after several years. I wasn't sure if it was where I was resting my foot (hole was slightly behind the heel pad, towards the driver), or what was going on. Eventually I figured out that it was where I was pushing off when corkscrewing myself out of the car. So now in my current Z4MC, I'm careful not to push off the way I used to.

I've had them in a bunch of other cars over the last 20 years, and no such problems in any other - they hold up VERY well. One of my buddies saw them in my car and immediately ordered a set for his M4, and he's super happy with them too.

As much as it pains me I used the plastic (velcro topped) screws that came with the mats.

No mat allowed on the driver side because of track rules, OEM passenger side one stays in place for now. Easy DIY fix is to get some outdoor-rated velcro from a home hardware store and glue/epoxy it in place of the original strips.

Right so when I go to the track I just pull the driver side mat out.
