No, my 5 never goes out in bad weather and I'm very careful with her....... I treat the 4 like a red headed step child so I had to get protection for her...

Now that you've had a couple more months, are these still a good option? would you consider putting these in your 5BW or do you use a different option there?

I still love these mats! I would put them in my 5BW if I felt I had a need for them but as little as she is driven I use OEM mats.
My 4BW is dirty and I plan to wash her Saturday morning, but here is what my mats looked like before and after a quick vac and wipe down this morning....

I have the tux mats for my 5BW and I daily it. I'm not going back to weather techs, these mats are really that good. Easy to clean, soft as carpet and have a nice look to them. Fit and finish is very good.

Does it pl
Does it play well with the third pedal?
Yes. They are a little bit thicker obviously but I don't have any issues even with a size 10 boot.
I should also point out I have a 2-year-old and a 3 year old and these mats take a beating and they still look great. I've had them for about 3k mi and about 5 months.
Weather techs are really great too but in the back they only offered moderate protection. The Tux Mat goes over the hump and covers 98% of the carpet. Only part not covered is under the seat but there's all kinds of electronics there so no mat will protect like this.

I've seen these in other cars. I understand why some people like them, they look very well made and well tailored to the car. But don't you find that they are pain in the ass to remove and shake off & clean? I like mats that I can quickly remove and shake out. Just my opinion.
Definitely not fun to remove, nor designed to be easily removed. It's half a dozen of the other to me.
The only downside to these mats, besides not being able to easily remove them is that they may not hold as much liquid as a traditional winter mat with fins, grooves and valleys.
They offer more protection then most other mats as the sides come up pretty high on the tux mats.
As far as cleaning any regular mat, I eventually have to pull them out and vacuum them as debris gets caught underneath. With the Tux mat that cannot happen, so I vacuum them in the car.

I have a cover for the bench, it don't fit that well but none of them really do unless you spend a lot of custom fit. I just didn't feel it was necessary. I paid $30 for it.
I'd also get the kick mats for the back of the front seat, those take a beating. I went with these, they are cheap but get the job done.
