December 2004

BMW is recalling about 75,000 5- and 7-series cars after problems were
discovered with front-seat heating mats.

These mats could overheat in certain circumstances, damaging the
surrounding upholstery and possibly resulting in slight burns, a BMW
spokesman said.

About 69,750 5-series sedans sold in mid-2003 are affected by the
recall; more than 29,000 of those were sold in Germany. Of the 7
series, 5,550 cars were affected. The recall affects cars made between
February 2003 and June 2004, a BMW spokesman said.

Hmmmmm!  Very interesting.  The seat heater in the driver's seat of
my '01 330xi failed like that.  I wonder if the problem is more widespread
than the recall says!
