Description of the problem | I have a 2005 x3! This morning my driver side seat nearly went up in flames!! So scary!! Lucky i wasn't in traffic or on the highway, i was able to jump out and address the problem. Is there a recall number for the heated seats yet? I have seen allot of issues with the bmw 04-08 x3 heated seats. Most people are getting burnt and this could be very dangerous for us owner while driving. Something need to be done, lucky it was me driving and not my wife. Thank you |
