Apart from being baffling, this puts me in a predicament. I feel heated seats are a must have in a modern roadster, but the heated seats in my previous BMW's have not been particularly effective compared to other cars I've owned.

So, how much do your heated seats extend you driving days and at what tempurature do they become ineffective?

Thanks for the help and I look forward to joining the community as a "real" member soon.
I agree I would never buy a roadster without heated seats. I use mine every winter morning here in chilly SoCal. In the afternoon its top down and soaking up the sun. At level 3 they are warm to my back in about 2-3 minutes, then I cycle them back to level 2 or 1. I find the heating capability is comparable to my wifes 2003 E46 vert.

During the cooler days with the top down they are great. I've used them top down to the low 40's. No complaints here.
