Shortly after leaving home I had a warning triangle with a snowflake in it. Anyone else get it yet? (Hopefully you never do... I means that it's cold ).
Heated seats work great - no burns yet.
Heated steering wheel is really nice, although I agree w/ Rudy. The SMG paddles are quite cold in contrast.

I think it'll be worse when it gets really cold...

(And yes, I had the snowflake warning about a week ago.)

From prior experience with a 1994 325i, this can become annoying when the average temperature is near the warning threshold (37F US). Temperatures, of course, can vary by a few degrees from neighborhood to neighborhood. As you travel if the temperature rises above and back down to or below the threshold, you get to hear the accompanying chime multiple times.

I wonder if BMW has made this feature any smarter?

We got the real snowflakes this morning
Luckily the snow never settled on the ground, and melted away quickly.
