Heated, I get completely, but I’ve never seen electric seats as a ‘must have’ really.

To be fair, this seems like a sensible and modest project compared to the replacement of the instrument cluster with an LED Tv in the banana coloured space shuttle.

I hope you get this sorted ASAP Ian

I genuinely hope you really enjoy your new display after the massive headache you’re having… my new company car has this type of thing fitted from the factory and it’s useful to a point.

1st world problems …and all that

I can't answer for Ian, but when I did this exact mod years ago I did it for one reason only. My wife also drives my Z from time to time and as she is 5'4" and I'm not! I don't want to be adjusting the drivers seat all the time, so memory seats are perfect, one button each.
I totally get it for a one person car, no-one to ever drive it other than the owner, absolutely no need

Having seen hundreds, literally, of other E89's it's amazing to see what the first owner thought was a priority and what they could live without, even more so when you see the price list from the time. Seat Heating, for example, considering this is the UK and we don't have the warmest climate. The factory price was £290, this is an open top car, it keeps your bum warm

So whoever got out selected position 3 first to make it easier to get in and out. Then when we got in we preseed our own number.
Worked a treat.

I had never really thought much about a heated steering wheel until Dave mentioned how much he enjoyed having one and then of course there is still the exhaust improvement I am looking for. Not to mention the CSL wheels which I absolutely love. I was looking at a photograph of Nigel’s E89 today which just confirmed how much I do like them. I’m not sure which will come first divorce or bankruptcy.
