The seat heaters are stuck on all the time. There is a bulletin from BMW on this and should be a recall issue meaning you shouldn't have to pay for the repairs.

get it recalled asap!

i dont really get the allure of heated seats, it seems unnecessary. well i live in a sunny area, so maybe thats why. but, wow, must be a hot seat!!
