The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Want to confirm: M3 vert seats are the same as non-M Sport seats (minus the seatbelt)? A local part-out has cinnamon vert seats. I know the back isn't compatible, but I'm kind of liking the idea of the seat mounted belts so I can minimize the beating my cube trim takes.

They are exactly the same as the non-M vert seats.

I think functionally they are. However, M seats have Nappa leather, where the non-M seats are Montana. Nappa is a finer quality leather.

Interesting E46 fact of the day (didn't know where else to put this):
If you hold your heated seat button for 1 second, the heating turns off. Useful for if you want to preserve the button by not having to press it three times to turn off (if on highest setting). :)

I didn't see mention of it online; perhaps I have discovered something nobody else has! :biggrin

I read about that in the owner's manual while we were driving the blue car back from Canada.

Tested it out.

Said "ehh I'll forget that in a week."

Thanks for the reminder!

I definitely didn't know that. I will definitely do that, since I only like my heated seats on "boiling lava hot/sterilization" setting or not on at all.

LOL. my wife is like that. i only put it on setting 3 when it's reeeeally cold out. otherwise 1 works great.

I'm not a fan of heated seats for some Reason... It just feels weird to me that a part of the body is warm and the rest is freezing cold...

I agree. By the time they get up to temp, the cold leather has already made you shriek and gotten up to temp with your body.

Now if only you could activate them remotely so that the seats preheat as you walk out to the car...like a block heater for your ass...
