I saw some US owners mention "cold weather" package. I have no idea what is it, but I think BMW should have included heated side mirrors standard. My 2000 Civic had it.

It is what you just said it was... heated seats, side mirrors, heated washer jets, etc etc. Just because a Civic had it why should it be standard on a BMW? You probably paid for the extra option in the crappy civic.
I dont really want it. I dont need heated side mirrors or heated washer jets in So Cal. I doubt people need it in Florida and Hawaii either... so why should BMW make them standard and charge me more on the base price of the car for something I'll never use?

Heated side mirrors apparently come standard in the US. They are options in Canada? Too funny!
I live in Colorado. So heated mirrors come in handy periodically, but I'm guessing people in Florida don't need them very often.

BTW heated mirrors are useful not only because they melt ice, but they also dry up water ... and civics are not crappy.

Hi Baje1!
My office is, and I have the majority of my client base, in Rochester.
I've never seen your AW 545 with those rims around.
I'll keep an eye out.
Nice to know someone else is around the area.
