Heated seats don't stay hot

I just got my E70 back in July and am using the heated seats for the first time, since it just started to get cold. When I turn on the heated seats at their highest setting, they become very warm...

Unlike RH71, I definitely get this in standard D mode (i.e. non-sport) on my 4.8i. I also recall it occuring on the 3.0si in standard D mode during test drives. I only have 1200 miles on my car, so...

BMW increases finance rate by 1%

Just saw that BMW bumped up the APR from 0.9% to 1.9% until end of October. Glad I didn't wait!

Had a question for all of you who switch out your style 214 20s with 18s for the winter (I am planning on getting the style 209s with Dunlop Grandtrek WT M3 ROF 255/55).

Are 214s impractical for a daily driver?

BMW extends 0.9% offer

It looks like BMW did in fact extend their 0.9% financing for 60 months offer until 09/02/08. So those on the fence can order their custom E70s now before they stop making the 2008s and start...

Weren't you looking at another one that had ~ 50 miles on it? Was that the only reason you went with this one or were they equipped differently?
