Hey guys I pushed the heated seat on the passanger side for my girl and the lights froze and now its not working! And when I turn off the car the lights are still on. Does the bmw start breaking down after 50k? Man this sucks anyone know what could be? This is fustrating =(

I would find the fuse, pull it, replace it, and then try it again.

FYI - theres a diagnostic algorith that BMW has just to interrogate the seat heaters... Mine failed to turn on no matter how many times I pressed the button, turned out to be a faulty switch which was replaced under warranty...
