Best Accessories for the BMW G20 3 Series

The accessories that actually earn their place on the current 3 Series — the ones that protect it, prep it for the run-flat reality, and make daily life better, not just clutter the cabin. Here's what we'd fit first, organized by what matters.

What to fit first

Spend on protection before anything cosmetic — all-weather mats and a cargo liner keep a modern interior looking new and protect resale. Then the two G20-specific essentials: a dash cam, and a portable inflator, because the run-flat tyres mean there's no spare in the trunk. Everything after that is personal taste.

The Accessories, by Category

01 · Protection
All-Weather Floor Mats Fit first
The single best buy — custom-fit rubber mats that trap water, mud and salt and protect the carpet that's a pain to clean. 3D MAXpider or WeatherTech. More in our G20 floor mats guide.
Check on Amazon →
Cargo / Trunk Liner Protection
A molded boot liner shrugs off groceries, dog claws and spills — essential on the Touring, smart on the sedan. Keeps the trunk carpet pristine.
Check on Amazon →
Custom Sunshade Comfort
A fitted windscreen shade keeps the cabin and that big iDrive screen cooler and protects the dash from sun fade. Folds away in seconds.
Check on Amazon →
Door Sill Protectors Style + wear
Protect the painted sills from shoe scuffs at the highest-wear edge of the car — clear film or finished trims, easy to apply.

02 · Tech & Convenience
Dash Cam (Front + Rear) Essential
The accessory we'd never skip — a front-and-rear cam protects you in a dispute and while parked. Hardwire it to the fuse box for clean, switched power.
Check on Amazon →
Phone Mount Handy
Even with the G20's wireless charging tray, a solid vent or screen-edge mount keeps your phone in view for navigation. Pick one that doesn't block the vents.
Check on Amazon →
Key Fob Cover Protect
A silicone or leather sleeve protects the G20's key from scratches and drops — a cheap bit of insurance for an expensive fob.
Check on Amazon →
LED Interior Lights Upgrade
A crisp white LED kit modernizes the dome, footwell and trunk lighting versus any dull factory bulbs — a quick, satisfying plug-in upgrade.
Check on Amazon →
03 · Care & Emergency
Portable Tire Inflator No spare!
G20s ride on run-flats and carry no spare — a compact 12V inflator (ideally with a sealant kit) gets you moving after a slow puncture. A genuine must-have, not a nice-to-have.
Check on Amazon →
Detailing Kit Care
Keep the paint and those black-dust-magnet wheels looking sharp. A proper wash-and-protect kit goes a long way — see our detailing kit guide.
Check on Amazon →
Microfiber Towel Set Care
Soft, plush microfibers for drying and quick details without swirling the paint — buy a multi-pack and keep one in the trunk.
Check on Amazon →
OBD2 Scanner Smart owner
These are tech-heavy cars — a capable scan tool reads codes and handles battery registration and service resets. See our scanner guide.
Check on Amazon →
The shortlist: if you buy nothing else, get all-weather mats, a dash cam and a portable inflator — the three that protect the car, protect you, and cover the no-spare reality. Everything else is personal taste on top.

FAQ

What are the best accessories to buy first?

All-weather floor mats and a cargo liner to protect the interior, then a dash cam and a portable tire inflator. Those four cover protection, security and the run-flat/no-spare situation — the rest is down to preference.

Does the G20 come with a spare tyre?

No — like most modern BMWs it rides on run-flat tyres and carries no spare. That's exactly why a compact 12V inflator (and ideally a sealant kit) is one of the smartest things to keep in the trunk.

Doesn't the G20 already have wireless charging?

Most do have a wireless charging tray, yes. A phone mount is still useful if you want the phone up in your eyeline for navigation, or if your trim lacks the tray — just choose one that doesn't block the air vents.

Will accessories affect my warranty?

Non-invasive accessories — mats, liners, a dash cam, a phone mount — won't affect your warranty. Be more careful with anything that taps deeply into the electrical system or modifies the car; keep installs clean and reversible.

Do these fit the Touring (G21) too?

Most do, but cargo liners, mats and shades are body-specific — always confirm the listing covers your exact model (sedan or Touring) and model year before buying.

The Bottom Line

Protect first, personalize second. All-weather mats and a cargo liner keep a modern interior like new, a dash cam protects you, and a portable inflator covers the no-spare reality of the run-flats. Add a phone mount, LED lighting and a detailing kit to taste, and keep a scan tool handy for the electronics.
