Well my car is pretty much a bare bones X5 (but a rare beast- a 6sp manual, so its fun to drive), I dont think I can feel any fluid when I poke on the cushion, so maybe there is a way to retrofit a heating element under it... Looks like a major research project and a major PITA after that...

I've seen people say they're prewired and such, but I'm not sure if that was just the V8's, or just the V8's with leather, or if there's even a grain of truth to it at all. Hopefully if you can get the actual tech lit's, the info will be in there. From what I've gathered, the heated seat elements are sewn into the seat covers and they're just a bladder full of heat-conductive fluid. When I press on my seats with a finger or two, it does feel like I have something between the leather and the foam padding, but I don't have an example seat that I know is heated to check against.
And yea, the woolly covers over top of the nice BMW interior is major suckage, I would almost rather go with the stock look without any kind of heating and deal with the cold than put a cover over my sport package seats...
