I can't really imagine that the seat heater could get that hot for safety and liability reasons

Maybe she is just very sensitive or hot.


Seat heaters going bad is a not so uncommon problem with BMW's. It was very prevalent on the E46 models and has been known to occur on the E53 (and I'd assume the X3 as well). Usually you will see burn lines on the leather first, but if you happen to have black leather, there would be a chance that the burn is the first thing you'd feel. Head to a dealer and have it checked out as the overheating could result in a fire within the interior of the seat.
