Asked the dealer if they could retrofit and they said no.
Curious to see if anyone has been successful.

Sorry you did not get what you wanted. The BMW build your own app can be challenging, but the heated steering wheel option is pretty clear. The Executive Package includes 16 features and they list them all. Heated Steering Wheel is not one of them. The option that includes Heated Steering Wheel is called "Heated Front Seats, Armrests & Steering Wheel" One could argue that these features should be standard. A lot of keystrokes have been spent on the topic of BMW charging extra for things Kia give you standard. Its a shame but its just the way it is. I hate it but I like driving a BMW too much to leave the brand over it. I'll choose the options I want and pay whatever it takes and then negotiate the best discount off MSRP I can get.
Hopefully you can get heated steering wheel added for a reasonable price. Not to rub it in, but it's awesome
