My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors

My seats are UNBEARABLE on level 3 - I normally have to turn them off even on Level 1!!!! I mean seriously, I've never had heated seats be too hot until now.

So is there a recall or not?

edit: I still prefer them to my GS430 seats (one level and it never really got warm)

The recall applied to early production vehicles, up to January 2005 production if I recall correctly. The 550 is a recent model and the newer heating system should be incorporated into your car. I would speak to your dealership if I were you.
