Thumbs up

Does anybody know if it is possible to retrofit the Cold Weather package? I think I know the answer to that one (i.e., yeah, buy a new seat <_< ) but I thought I'd ask just in case anybody knows if the cars are already set up for it and all it requires are some simple parts that can be installed later.

Does anybody know?

I agree, If the parts were cheap, you would still pay a load in labor costs.

You could always have aftermarket heated seats installed if the dealer can't do it. They are pretty cheap- usually $300-$500.

But then it just wouldn't feel like sitting in a 5er.

No--you keep the same seats, they just install the heating elements in your current seats.

Do you have any more info on that? As in, does the dealer do it or is it aftermarket? How much?

Aftermarket.
Try a Classic Soft Trim or other coachworks place.
Also, ask your dealer if they can do it. They might be able to.
