That is something I will miss if/when I change cars...

Its something that you only use a few times a year, but is worth its weight in gold those few times you do!

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

I've had it on a couple of cars in the past and I've enjoyed it for cold mornings when I CBA don't have time to run the car warm before setting off. By the time the windows have been scraped, bum and hands are toasty warm.

It was also on both EVs that I had, but totally unnecessary IMO, the car warms itself off a phone app/timer before you get in, no need for a hand warmer, or scraping any ice.  :y

Does that affect the range in any significant way?

No such luxury on the Mexican. I believe it was part of the £1200  'comfort pack' that also included keyless entry and a couple of other items I can't remember.

I did spec the sports seats from the M3 and M4 though. Electric movement and rump roasters included.

Isn't that a by product of heating the battery so that it actually works :D
