I was told by the sales mgr that it will include the steering wheel, but the invoice they sent me does not show it in the cold weather pkg.

I didn't ask for it, but I certainly wouldn't mind having it here in Minnesota. I got quite a bit of use out of the heated steering wheel in my 550i.

don't know if you want to be driving the M3 in the winter...but the heated wheels sounds really good...I know I love the seats...though I wish we had cooling seats too.

Why do you need heated seats? Don't you wear clothing?

Try a car with a heated steering wheel in the winter. It's a nice feature.

Because they're standard when you choose leather here.

It is a nice feature but, for me, I can live without it. Unless that they will now package it as part of ZTP or others so that they can increase the price noting that they added more features. Like the CA that they included it in the ZTP so if you really like it, that means that you are force to take the whole package.

Not quite. At least for the US market, this is what the 2008 package includes.

Cold Weather Package $1,000
• Headlight Washers
• Heated front seats
• Fold down rear seats (which does include ski bag)

I hate the little "devil's horns" headlight washers so I am ordering Heated front seats & Fold down rear seats à la carte (and saving $25...)

You are correct for the sedan, Big Windy was correct for the coupe.
