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.

I have two gripes with theheated steering wheel. First, whenyou activiate it, drive it, and turn the car off, you have to hit it agin to start. It should stay on till deactiviated. Second gripe, my wife's head tends to get stuck in the spokes when she uses it for an emergency curling iron.

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Silver Metallic w/Sport Automatic Transmission, Ventilated Comfort Seats in Beige Nasca Leather, Light Poplar Trim, NAV, HUD, Active Steering, Night Vision, Active Cruise Control, Logic 7, Blue tooth Hands Free, Dynamic Stability, Soft Close.
Mods: RPI Exhaust, Scoop + FIlter, License plate LED lights
Packages vary from country to country e.g we dont have a Cold Weather Package in Pakistan although we do have a "Standard Package" which has usual options in a bundle(Xenon, Active Steering, Logic 7 etc). The packages are designed to keep the customers and environment in mind and build an economical package with all the included options a bit cheaper than if all the options are added separately. Unfortunately i couldn't get the Standard Package as it was only for the 530i where i live.

I think the heated wheel are a part of the "comfort seat package", not cold weather package?
That's the case here in Norway. Mind you, as we leave almost on the north pole everty package containig some kind of heat should be standard
But it is not. Heated seats and mirrors are, at least.

I have a heated steering wheel, retractable headlight washers (they are standard), heated seats but no heated mirrors.
BTW heated mirrors are useful not only because they melt ice, but they also dry up water ... and civics are not crappy.

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.
and windshield washers.
They should be standard in Canada and in northern US also.
