Heated Seats

Jay_328 · 10-29-2005, 02:09 AM

My brother loves to turn on his 'butt warmers' without the passenger knowing about it. He does that to his wife and his friends. He also got me a couple times. It's like you're sitting there doing whatever and all of a sudden, WTF!! He thinks it's so clever. Such a dumbass!!

isnt cool!

Im glad the car on the lot that i picked had it.

I didnt even realized i had it until after a day i got the car.

... my paper showed they just threw it in with the deal

I was surprised how fast they are heating up. It is 3 stage too! Awersome feature to have in the winter coming.

Black325i · 10-29-2005, 08:11 PM

Agreed. Most people will find the heated seats a nice feature. But I think someone said it earlier, these bad boys heat up fast ! My old Acura took 3-5 minutes to even know they were on !

There the best wish i hade them : (

My E39 w/ winter pkg had a heated steering wheel - I wish that was included with the E90. The steering wheel on a car parked outside in 10 degree weather gets cold and hard - much nicer to drive w/out gloves.

Good to hear the seats warm-up quicker.

If I could make an improvement on the heated seats it would be to make them part of the memory fuction. Meaning, program them to come on eveytime you start the car. Call me lazy but I must turn them on every time I get in.

Lazy

It would be very easy to reset it with the memory button on the seat.

Notice how no one from Southern California posts regarding heated seats or winter tires?

I've lived in LA in winter/fall before...its no NYC in the winter, but it gets cold (eh around 55 F) enough to bust out the heated seats baby. Plus, chicks dig the warmth, regardless of locale :-)

Lazy

I love the heated seats and how quickly they warm up but I really wish there was some sort of "memory" for them. Not for everytime I start the car but I wish they would automatically go on if I had them on when I last turned the car off.

Heated seats rock.

Tell your friend, he is pretty much useless, I agree with you, the heated seats rock, even in CA

I turn it on lowest level when travelling long distances even if its not cold outside.

Use this feature and the excellent lumbar support and no more pain in the back!

When you leave your car, push the REST button. If you make it back before the REST button turns off (I think about 20 mins or so) then your Heated seats will be on the same setting that you had them before you got out. It's a quasi-memory function; kinda cool for quick trips in and out.

com_mander · 12-19-2005, 01:40 PM

You don't have to make it to the North Pole to make a heated steering wheel worth while.

When the temperature gets down to below zero farenheit it takes a lot longer for your car to warm up before those vents stop blowing cold air on your already frozen hands. So you end up wearing gloves while driving, making it difficult (and annoying) to operate some controls, like the stereo or the windows.

The heated seats (and presumably steering wheel) don't have to wait for the engine to warm up before warming you up.

ashecnc · 12-19-2005, 01:58 PM

Yes, it has been very cold, and the heated seats are great. The seats seem to heat up quick, if left on level 3, you're on fire lol

wantmye90 · 12-19-2005, 08:23 PM

With the heated seats on level 3, you can still ride around in 50 degree weather with all the windows down and the roof open!

To think that I almost passed on heated seats...! Glad I got them!

Damn, I wish I had heated seats just for that reason.

ek9hatch00 · 12-19-2005, 10:38 PM
