The problem is a near break in the resistive element giving a high resistance spot. If you can jumper that spot you'll change it from a hot spot to a cold spot but I'm not sure the brat way to do that. Conductive epoxy? Crimp connector?

This *shouldn't* be that hard to do, with the seat cover off.
I just installed comfort seats in my E53 and the seller didn't say anything about this, but there is an extremely hot spot in the lower cushion closest to the door. I measured with an infrared thermometer and the spot is close to 200 degrees.
I can't find any real info about how the seats are put together and what the heating pad actually looks like.
