Does 4HB Heated Armrests REALLY delete 494 heated front seats?
Just noticed this caveat in the ordering guide. Anybody know? I don't care about heated rear seats.
Anybody have only 4hb? |

I have both so it's probably a mistake. I would say ask BMW but they likely won't give you a correct answer. I'll find my window sticker and or order form and post it.

Yeah I guess the question is if you order 4hb are you then required to order 4ha to get heated front seats? Or is 4ha really just heated rear seats and the heated front seats always remain standard?
I dont want to pay the $350 for 4ha on the basis of heated rear seats alone. I also dont want to receive a car with no heated front seats. |

Logically why would anyone want heated armrest and steering wheel, but not heated seats? BMW should revise the order guide and just have it like the following: 4HA - Heated Rear Seats :: required 4HB 4HB - Heated Steering Wheel & Armrest STD equip 494 remains unchanged. |

Yep, that's what I was thinking. A comma is missing.
The conspiracy theorist in me says that they did this on purpose to sell more 4HA. I have yet to see a car specd with 4HB but without 4HA. Implying that heated front seats are included with 4HA is deceptive. |

And another line item I see is:
The armrests and wheel heated option includes the default front heated seats. The forced add on is rear heated seats if you spec the front armrest and steering wheel heating. You get front heated seats as a base inclusion on the car. Would have been much clearer if the option for rears was 'Heated Rear Seats' only, with no mention of the fronts.

Next time you want to impress a passenger in the winter.... Activate their massage seat via voice control and then ask how warm would they like their arm rest to be. At that point you will look like you are sitting in the Master of the Universe seat. Last edited by MystroX5; 08-23-2019 at 01:01 PM.. |

As far as I can see, one can order one of the:
- 494 (front) - 4HA (front and rear) - 4HB (front with armrests and steering wheel) Or you can order - 4HA and 4HB together (everything heated) In this case, price of 4HA is reduced by the price of 494. At least in my country. Honestly, as others pointed out, this is unnecessarily confusing |

sales guy talked me into steering wheel/arm rests. it was cheap so figured what the hell. love heated seats but never had heated steering wheel - and heated arm rests?! really? it's mainly your elbow that's on the arm rest. is it really going to make much difference if it's heated? lol

On another note the US configurator requires you to get both seat heat (F&R) with arm rest heat. |

We have it - I thought it was a bogus thing, but I'm surprised how much I like the center armrest to be heated. Especially if you're running around while it's cold but not wearing a heavy jacket (because you know you wont' be outside long).

Agree with those who like "everything heated". I have an F15 (G06, M50i on order) and LOVE the heated steering wheel. Will never have a vehicle without it. I had a loaner for a few days last October that was a G05 with the heated armrests. They were a definite bonus...I ordered everything heated on my G06.
