Does anyones heated seat burn them?

KWVT · 12-11-2012, 06:35 PM

Recently I have been using my heated seats on the regular since it has been cold here lately. In the past week I have noticed on a couple of occasions that when the heated seat is on high I get a burning feeling, right before the thigh extension on the back on my leg? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this something I should be concerned about or get looked at?

Oh yes i had this on my old 545, it was horrible the bottom of right side of the seat would get so effin hot i had to turn it off. Dealer said had to replace the seat bottom for 1400 bucks. If your under 4/50 it should be covered

Mine get pretty toasty, I like to ninja turn them on for my passengers for the lolz.

rdeterman · 12-11-2012, 07:15 PM

i only run mine on the 2nd setting otherwise they are too hot for me

Haha on 3 mine gets quite crispy not going to lie, love it on the cold mornings though its great

GChase · 12-11-2012, 08:01 PM

Never go on mode 3 haha honestly it just hurts. When it's around 30-45 degrees F, I just use mode 1 to warm up. Unless I've been outside for a long time, I rarely even go on mode 2. A major first world problem when our car seat heaters are 'too hot'

Just curious because the seats in my E90 didnt get as hot as the ones in the E92

BrazilianBimmer · 12-11-2012, 09:37 PM

I have pre-lci e90 325 and yes it gets hot as hell! I usually just put it put it on mode 3 to warm it up fast either bring it down to mode 2 or 2.
Funny story though: I was hanging with a friend of mine who happens to have a big sexy booty and I have the seat warmer on number 3, after a while I asked her if it was too hot. She said "No, you know I got plenty of meat there, it needs to stay warm." lol

cuiter23 · 12-11-2012, 09:39 PM

usually keep them on 1 setting. At 3 it does get quite warm.

I wish mine got hotter - particularly when the temps are in the teens or lower. I thought they weren't working properly after I sold the Audi, where setting 4 out of 6 was plenty hot for me, and bought the BMW. The dealer checked them out and they got up to "normal operating temperature."

N55 · 12-11-2012, 09:52 PM

I never run mine less than 3.

Maybe dependent on pant material/thickness

DanielGonz · 12-11-2012, 11:58 PM

I always put mine at Level 3 (hottest)... in jeans, basketball shorts (coming from gym), sweats. Feels too damn good, wish they got hotter though.

eppisgood · 12-12-2012, 02:51 AM

Never use more than level 1 for 45-60 seconds.. although it's hardly ever below 50 degrees here.
