In US its part of the cold weather package.
What they did discontinue for the US is rear A/C controls. You just get the vent control, nothing else.

When I did the online configurator, I had to add the heated steering wheel (248 option) in order to "unlock" the front & rear heated seats 4HA option. Then when you choose the front & rear heated seats, it will tell you that it's removing the front heated seats (the stand-alone option).
When ordering the car at the dealership and manually plugging in the numbers, I did the same thing above but then removed the 248 option so I just got front & rear heated seats. The Cold Weather package consists of both front & rear heated seats and the heated steering wheel. |

Does anyone know if the rear heated seats can be added after delivery? Trevster's post (second post in this thread) sounds like he took delivery and upgraded for $400.
I am in the US. I had ordered a 540i xdrive from my dealer and we built the car using the online configurator. I looked at every option. There was no option for rear heated seats, and the cold weather package is no longer available. I chose the premium package (which has front heated seats). I took delivery 2 weeks ago. Then, after seeing this thread, I learned how to "unlock" the option for rear heated seats. I was very disappointed to learn that I could have ordered rear heated seats, but due to the glitch on the BMW website, I was not given the opportunity. The punch line is that it would actually have been $150 cheaper to have heated seats all around instead of just in the front. I made a complaint to BMW USA but they told me that they just noted it internally and were not going to do anything about it. Bottom line is that I would like to add it. My dealer says it cannot be retrofitted. But it looks like Trevster did it. Maybe the rear seats are already pre-wired, and all I need is a switch and proper coding. Does anyone if it can be done? BMW USA is no help in answering this question. They told me to ask my dealer. |

Which demonstrates the value of this forum and others. BMW should make it easier, but there is no substitute for these active forums and I checked in here and one other forum before ordering. It cost me more money, but I got what I would have wanted and not seen relying on the dealer or the web site.

I have rear heated seats, I just got my car off the lot too, not personally configured. I do have heated steering wheel as well.
When a friend of mine got in the car, she was so surprised I had rear heated seats. She also owns a G30 and didn't think that it was available. |

That's not true. You actually can get the 4 zone climate control in the US, but it's not listed as an option anywhere. Several posters on another forum were able to order it for $400 or $600 extra can't remember the exact amount. It's not listed on the ordering guideline, but BMW will gladly do it.

I 100% recommend everyone to get it because it makes the rear feel a lot more premium, plus the extra vents and controls are nice! |
