Hot garage.

get the heated seats, no matter your climate.
1) why get such a beautiful car without?
2) when you're borrowing dad's car for a hot date.

A friend of mine loves the heated seats, as it actually seems to help her sore back. She often uses them when it's 70-75 degrees out.

my ex girlfriends loved them too :thumbup:

Back in the day, on the first car that I owned with heated seats, I accidentally hit the heated seat button unknowingly. About 5 minutes later I pulled off the road in a panic because I thought that I had pissed myself. :rofl:

+1 on the heated seats (even in Vegas!).

Not sure what my wife would say if i took a girl out in the X!;)
My dad is just happy with the sports seats in it. He just doesn't want them. Plenty of time to change his mind about it though:D

I would change your M3 order to manual ...that M-DCT gearbox is horrid. I lived with the thing for a year and it drove me nuts. BMW still release's software patches to fix the thing.

What year was your m3? I'm hoping most bugs will be fixed by the 2010 model! Don't forget this car is going to be my mum's dd so a manual around town is not an option for her.

:iagree:

The M-DCT is terrible in town but acceptable out of it, but manual is best everywhere and the only choice. If your mum can't drive a manual, let her drive the X and tell your dad he has to drive the M3 ... but as a manual.

seriously, heated seats anywhere north of the queensland border would be horrible :(

in our 'winter' you can actually wear a pair of jeans on some days if you're lucky enough, but the humidity will see you sweating if you try anything more than a casual walk

beautiful cars, congrats

thanks jimsaq,
i agree, heated seats are useless here in sunny brisbane. i have them on my car and only use them to freak the passenger out!!!
btw jimsaq, how are those photos of your beautiful ruby black X5 coming ;) ?

I am a slack bugger :/
instead of washing the car and taking pics of it, I drove up to coastline to look at the carbon black X6 M you told me about :D
