Heated rear seats?

I've seen a few videos and pictures of G20s with rear heated seats, however, on the UK configurator at least, it doesn't seem to be an option.

The short term loan I have right now has the blanks where the buttons would be, I wonder if it's just a US spec thing?

Anyone got them?

Interesting! Guess they are just not available in the UK right now, are they part of a pack or a standalone option for you guys?

Heated seats are included in the premium package with heated front + rear seats being a standalone option.

One suggestion (worth a try) is to ask if you can get them via the individual program possibly?

Not convince that will work but no harm asking you you are determined to get them. They may offer them at the next model year possibly? Spec do change quite frequently

Not on an option list in Japan neither.
However as an individual order through Japan dealer, they accepted last week.

It’s weird that they don’t have it as an option in the UK where it can be useful. I can understand it not being available in the Middle East or India because heated seats don’t make any sense whatsoever there (and it isn’t even available in the 3 series even as an option).
I always have all seats atleast heated in all my cars. If front ventilated seats were available, I’d get that too.

Kind of a neat feature, but I live in Socal and normally people don't ride in my back seat.

in the US you can only have them on leather seats with premium package and the optional heated rear and front seats option.

In CT I would never buy a car without front and rear heated seats. The rear passengers (kids) are much warmer with the seat heat on and you can keep the air temp in the car cooler as a result.

Yup! I believe it's to do with the low uptake of that option on the F30 model.
