The whole car smelled like cows being branded, and then I got out and noticed that it had actually BURNED the leather, not all the way through, but it did leave what looks like a little cigarette burn or something. Highly pissed. It's only got 66k miles on it. How much is it to replace the seat? Or what really needs to be done? It's just out of it's certified pre-owned warranty (previous owner bought it CPO, had a 100k/2 year warranty), how do I get a BMW extended warranty? My bank was talking to me about it and thought for sure that it qualified, but couldn't tell me how to do it. Thanks y'all.

If you'd turned it on before and it got so hot, why would you continue to turn it on after the fact. I'm sorry, but sounds like this time you did it to yourself.
In reply to everyone else, I'd suggest doing what this guy did I have warm buns again!!. This is a writeup I found on www.e38.org.
