My heated steering wheel on my 2008 X5 does not get as hot as I would like it to also. I remember when my X5 was in the shop and I had a loaner 3 series where that 3 series' steering wheel would actually get uncomfortably hot. That's what I want. In fact, now that the weather is getting cooler and I'm using the heat more often, it doesn't seem to get that hot either. I'm taking it into the dealership to check out along with the annoying rattles in the back.
