I miss my heated seats! - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

I had heated seats in the last 4 cars that I had. The seats in the Z4 were wonderful even in Florida, they really helped on those cold mornings. When I got the 135i, I assumed that it had heated seats because it has just about every other option available. Much to my surprise, there were no heated seats. I should have gotten the cold weather package. The heater is great but there is nothing that compares to a nice warm back and butt.

I know how you feel, my old 128i had heated seats, and a sun roof. Now I have neither lol

. I live in New England so for the past few weeks I've been freezing my ass off.

I now refuse to use heated seats in whatever car I'm in, just so I don't get a taste of what I'm missing

I have never had heated seats in any car I have ever owned. They never even came to mind when I bought my 135i.

My girlfriend recently got a 328i with heated seats and after driving her car around a lot, I have several times found myself reaching for the heated seats button in my 135i to only find it isnt there.

I skydive. And well that means for most of the day on saturday or sunday i'm sittin gon the cold foor of a over packed aircraft.
And well when I was married, my x wife's VW Bug had heated seats and let me tell you I could hear my back snap crackle and pop on the way home due to the heat from those seats....i got my car CPO program and yeah..no heated seats...:-( i wish i had them!

SteveAZ · 12-13-2012, 12:48 PM

All of our cars have heated seats...use them a lot....my wife's FX has cooled seats...those are the shiz in summer!

Heated seats are wonderful addition but the heated steering wheel is a must.

On really cold mornings I would completely love a heated wheel. seats are nice though. One of my cars few options.

luv135i · 12-13-2012, 01:44 PM

Its one of those things, if you never had it you dont care but once you get it your hooked

the1andonly · 12-13-2012, 04:52 PM

Only 2 options on my 2012 1 Series are heated seats and heated steering wheel...enough said

shah269 · 12-13-2012, 05:18 PM

BMW can't add the heated seats after can they?
Or is it huge $$$ and just not worth it?

I swear I saw a thread about that on here someplace, and the dealer told the guy he'd be better off buying a new car. I hope that's an exaggeration, I'd love to add em in.

rps · 12-13-2012, 09:55 PM

If you can even do it, the cost would be crazy stupid

08LMB135i · 12-13-2012, 10:15 PM

Use my heated seats everyday, including every morning in the summer on the way to work as the suns coming up.

Guardian · 12-13-2012, 10:39 PM

I had heated seats in the last three vehicles I owned, and I hardly ever used them , but my wife would turn it on every time she rode with me. It could be 65 degrees outside and she would turn them on to the highest setting. When we looked for her 335i, it was one of the things on the must-have-or-she-didn't-want-the-car list. When I ordered my 135, I ordered the heated seats because I got to like them and was afraid I'd miss them.

Howzer · 12-14-2012, 03:41 PM

I had them as well in my past few e46's, I miss them on cold mornings even though the chilly days are few in Charlotte.

AlanO · 12-14-2012, 08:06 PM

My GF told her mother I was a keeper just because of the bun warmers. In reality, its nice because she gets warmed up from the seats and the rest of the car isn't so warm that it cooks me.

Adam135 · 12-14-2012, 08:54 PM

Used them for the first time today. I think I like it.

IZAGLO · 12-14-2012, 10:00 PM

been driving long time ....many cars....all without heated seats till the 1 which i bought used , loaded in options...A big plus is the back is heated as well....I LOVE MY HEATED SEATS. would sorely miss the warmth if i did not have them....

doublevanosrc · 12-14-2012, 11:57 PM

My last E46 had them and i do miss them as well.

Living in Colorado heated seats are a necessity and wife would not let me buy any vehicle without this option
