    Anyone add heating elements to non-heated seats?

    I'm intrigued by the mwerks car how they added seat heating and since I'm reupholstering my seats anyway, I'm thinking about adding seat heaters. Anyone have any experience in this? I also am looking at http://www.heatedseatkits.com/. Maybe even add rear heated seats...

    I'm right where your at! About to get my seats reupholstered and want to add butt warmers. I'm going to do it to my rear M3 seat too! I havn't found and info or anything thread about this but i heard its pretty easy to install those kits. Let me know how yours go.

      Aftermarket kits are great, the stock E30 setup is crap.

      Easy shit, get it done.

        I will be picking up my newly reupholstered car tomorrow, and I chose to have to butt warmers added. I'm sure I will love it...but will let you know what I think about it when I get the car back!

          The kit the OP linked to only has one setting, can you wire this to the regular e30 switch and have multiple settings? Is it a matter of regulating voltage?
