No heated seats damn cold this morning, and reading through this forum, they are not an easy add on to your original seats.

Option 1) buy a set of second hand heated seats + the loom and retrofit

Option 2) Go to a specialist seat upholsterer and get them to fit (although probably won't have OEM switches)

Option 3) buy those mats on ebay for like £20 which just sit on top of your seats and plug into the cigarette lighter!

I'd love to retrofit heated seats to my E46 but it's just too much of a ballache!

Its crazy people dont spec heated seats in roadsters full stop, especially when they are like a £300 option. So many dont have them.

Im not the expert but I think its to do with the wiring loom obviously you need to get hold of some heated seats and a replacement panel with buttons and install a new wiring loom.

Can be done but its not a quick job and its getting hold of all the items that fit with your cars spec.

Option 4) sell the car and buy one with heated seats

A good wife would do that for you. Mine won't but a good one would

Have 'em. Never use 'em. Even on only #1, they burn my bum.

Rarely use them, they take too long to warm up.

Member nanu.....

Option 6 would be great but unfortunately that would never happen in our household.

I am lucky i get away with owning 2 very nice cars.
