That made me lol.

I used to see heated seats as pointless and now all our cars have them. Sign of getting old I think.

I wish my car had heated seats, i find sometimes the seat feels damp, even when it's not.
By that reasoning you could remove all the carpets in your house & attach a couple of carpet tiles to your slippers! :D

Wear leather trousers and a hot water bottle so you can carry heated leather seat with you too! :D
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

At least i haven't got completely slated for my £11 investment, i did have a look at retrofitting heated seats but after reading a thread on here i thought F*** that.

3 weeks into owning Z4, i still can't find a decent coffee cup holder.

HELP.......

I have a Lidl one in my van, it's GREAT I do however have it covered with a proper snap on waterproof seat cover as I couldn't bear looking at it. Was a tenner last year. The day cover was considerably more :wink:

Why don’t you remove it then!?

No spacers on the 359’s. I had 12mm on the rear with my 326’s.
