Cool Floormats and Water Bottle Solution
Many on the forum have talked about the cool, Chinese floormats you can get on ebay. I had them in my 2015 S and they were great, albeit difficult to install. The product seems to be refined at this point. I got new ones for my 2018, they fit much better and have more areas you can tuck under plastic trim, link is here:

This time around I wanted a water bottle solution like my wifes 2014 E350. I bought the bracket that she has in her passenger side footwell and fastened it to the floor mats, results are below, so far so good. I'm still fitting them a bit but you get the idea. I always struggled to find a good spot for my water bottle as I prefer to drive with the clam shell style cup holder lid closed (for astetics). The only downside is I have to make sure to close the bracket before putting the seat forward all the way so my wife can get chauffeured around with her footrest extended.
Thank you for sharing this. I have the Chinese mats originally recommended and they've run their course and need replacement. Unfortunately, the ones shared don't seem to come in gray which is what I have.
Does anyone have any other floor mat recommendations?
