After reading the board for a while it seems as though if the e60 has ventilated seats it cannot have a heated steering wheel. Is this correct or have I misunderstood what I have seen?
I will be ordering a 530xi soon and I would like to be able to get both.

I went round and round with the dealer with that and counld not get both. You cannot get the cold weather package with the ventelated seats....so you cannot get the heated steering wheel and the headlight washers...The ventelated seats come heated.....I bought a 2006 530I with the cold weather package and no vented seats. I live in the US area.

I ordered my 530xi with the cold weather and ventilated seats.? Its currently en route for delivery next week.? Order detail also shows up in BMW OC that both options were indeed there and I also confirmed all options with my dealer.? Dont see why it wouldnt be offered.? It wasnt even questionable when I placed my order.

I also called BMW of Manhattan where I have purchased a few cars from and they confirmed the same. Some more confirmation: When I went shopping around I had prices compared with the options I wanted and noone had told me anything that they wernt available. In all honestly, heated seats are with ventilated seats. heated steering wheel is with cold weather. in essence, when buying cold weather with ventilated your kind of paying twice for the heated seats. I was actually told that you cant order parts within the option package. So I guess I took a hit, but at least I got the car the way I wanted it. I will keep you guys updated when my car arrives next week!

I've heard it's not possible to have them both in the US, but here in Germany you can get them both together, just like in Canada.
