Damit, I went to warm up the car this morning and noticed a spot on the lower seat bolster. Well the spot turned out to be a burn, and with pressure on the seat, I saw a spark. Damn heater done burned a freckin hole in the seat.
Mind you i just had it in the shop a couple of weeks ago for the passenger seat back doing the same thing. Fixed of course under warrenty, and I did do the seat recall a year or so ago.
Have an appointment tomorrow to get a new seat cover put in, now my question is my warrenty runs out in October thinking about extending it, but with the plethera of issues recalls and down time do you guys think that the things that I have had fixed before, if it breaks again in a resonable amount of time should be repaired again by BMW or should we eat the problems and pay out of the ying yang?

I understand your point and agree that reoccurrences of known issues should be covered, even out of warranty.
That said, if you plan on keeping the car well past the factory warranty, I'd say it's worth it to spring for an extended warranty...
