Thought I would update the burning seat issue. I e-mailed and phoned BMWNA on this issue but never heard back. Called my SA at Baron, inquired if there might be a fix for this. I told him I could DIY if there were parts available. He said he never heard of X5 seat problems, only 7 series. Said he would get back to me with my options. One week later SA calls, says BMWNA will order parts from Germany and send them to Baron if I will pay the labor to install. Quoted me $250 OTD. This is a no brainer. New seat in two weeks. LOL.
