Good way to make BMW drivers who aren't entirely filthy rich to start seeing the issues with capitalism.
Heated seats are unimportant in the scale of things, but this is also how capitalism approaches something you literally have no option to do without like health care.
Also since this is _Hacker_ news, it should probably be mentioned that a MIG welder could probably be used to put whatever seats you like into an old used BMW. Buy the body and powertrain that you want, cheaply, do your own maintenance, then fit the aftermarket bells and whistles yourself to make it comfortable.
