I'm letting BMW know about this. How dare you. Any issues?

No issues at all here. Only problem is that the heated steering wheel took forever to warm up.

I gotta tell you, when the heat is on the wheel it gets way too hot for me. I use it to defrost my hands and then it's off - same with seat heat.

No issues with my X5. I don't like the Goodyear All Seasons in snow driving. Definitely not confidence inspiring.

At least its warmer in Greer, SC -- 34 degrees with a chance of snow today -- hopefully won't be any production delays though I can imagine there will be some transportation delays.

+1. I skipped the cold weather on our X5 because my wife said she never uses the heated wheel on her X3, since the button is buried underneath. She used it on our E70. I use it on my F30 but also turn it off after a few minutes.

depends where you're at though... this is -21F which is around -30C...it doesn't happen that often here in Ontario.
We had -22 C (-7.5F) a couple of days back and that was considered a very cold day! The "RealFeel" or the (windshield) temperature is a totally different story. For example tomorrow we will be having around -20C (-4F), but the real feel is -40C (-40F)! ...and that's not the number the car would show...
