Are power and heated seats Plug and Play?
After looking at the new configuration from BMW for the 2012 cars, I just want to add leather power/heated seats to a base car with a few options like Comfort Access.
I was just wondering if anyone knew if this was possible? .

Power and heated seats are plug and play in US cars as far as I remember but you will need to add the buttons. Also it will cost you like $7000 if you want to get the seats from the dealer, so you'd have to look for a trade which is impossible to find. Overall it's much better just to get the options.

It's a $4,500 option and I don't even want them. Like you said, I'm hoping to find a set someone wants to sell. .

Nobody is ever going to sell a pair of front heated and power seats for less than $2000, and you have to get the buttons, which are actually a few hundred because they come in a kit so it's actually more expensive, and you're risking having to possibly retrofit thousands of dollars of parts if BMW changes something in their build and you may need to pay hundreds of dollars of programing. On the other hand you get a bunch more features and a lower price by getting the option. Besides that, there's actually only a very very small chance someone will have the interior you want. Forget about it, that's my advice.
