Heated steering wheel comparison
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I used my FLIR camera to take some readings when I had an XLine loaner yesterday. Overall it does feel a little hotter in the XLine, but the temps were comparable depending on where you took the reading. X Line images not loading. will update.

We actually had a cold day in Texas and I would swear that my steering wheel was much cooler than when I took delivery. Yesterday, I had it on for 45 minutes and it was moderately warm the whole time. I remember trying it right after delivery and I had to turn it off after 5 minutes, it was very hot! I actually prefer the 'new' temperature, but the difference surprised me.

The milder heat from the steering wheel is a known issue with BMWNA. The cause is the sensors in the steering wheel - if the steering wheel gets too hot, the sensor that determines if a user has their hands on the wheel will not work.
However, they are aware of this problem and have a patch to fix this eventually.
