Where did seat heater buttons move to?

gobrigavitch · 02-14-2011, 03:18 PM

I'm shopping for a 2009-2011 used E90 M3. Since I live in Canada I really want heated seats. I found some ads don't always list the options in a way that makes it easy to find. I have been looking at photos and looking for the set of buttons below the CD player to confirm heated seats. Is that where they are still located? Are they in a different area in some years?

2009 is below the cd slot

2010+ it's by the climate area

Can someone post a picture to show where the new buttons are. This explains why it seemed none of the newer M3s had heated seats

Ask a nice question and get some smartass remark. FYI. I tried your google search and none of those pictures are high enough res to actually see what any of the buttons actually are. So that didn't help much at all

If you don't want to help me then fine. But do you really need to be an asshole about it

I managed to find a picture that showed the climate buttons well. It looks like the seat heated are just inside the dials in the second row of buttons. Is this area blank if no heated seats?

The buttons are still there, they just don't have the lettering on the buttons.

It depends on what options you have. If you don't have front PDC (which is all cars in US), don't have start/stop, and don't have rear sunshade, you should have no buttons at all in the lower console area. AFAIK, there's not even a large "button blank" - its just a completely empty area.

seriously though, if you really searched for those buttons, you'd find them. BKMK5's links were hilarious.

anyone know what the button like knob in between the seat heat is for? i have it but have not been able to find
anything in the manual. i was thinking its was for the rest feature but i dont think i have that either.

This is from my '09 E90. Below the CD slot are the seat warmer buttons. They do work well.

It's a sensor.
