Haha that video is funny

I remember that was one of the first videos I watched after buying my ZHP...

How many of you guys have Cold Weather Package?? I wish I just had the heated seats and not the entire option. Personally I dont need the headlight washers and ski bag

Me either but I love being able to fold down my rear seats.

I have the headlight washers. Wish I didn't though. Just makes it harder to take apart the headlights and it's one more thing that can fail. They don't clean the headlights very well either.

Agree. I feel like I'm going to break them or something.

I haz cold weather package. My bacon thanks me every morning for turning the seats to "burn his ass off" mode (aka 3 bars) every morning nowadays.
The split-fold is invaluable to me. Really helps with getting my auto-x tires in and out. The washers are redundant because my lenses are such crap and are fogged up that a good cleaning probably won't ever get them right again.

My washers don't do crap. Never have. (they literally never do anything- at all) I'm not really motivated to fix them either, lol.

Heated seats on the other hand...best thing ever.

Well I know that's how it was on past BMWs and Audis

I guess I avoid using it on the ZHP, so I actually can't say for sure. But I know a lot of people in the past thought they were broken and once they tuned the fogs on it worked. This was true on our '03 X5 too, which I am sure would be the same setup as the E46....

:dunno somebody try it out :)

I was about to tell you that.

Good thing I don't have headlight washers. They suck washer fluid and you literally have to refill the tank every three times you use them.

And, when your headlight washers do go off; it gets all over your hood too and then water spots form :(

Yeah, I never put my fogs on and my headlight washers work.

Headlights have to be on, and even then they don't activate evey time- only occasionally.

It's like every 5th time you wash your windshield they pop out...or something like that.

Heated seats were a stand-alone option.

Your washer fluid economy isn't very good. I must be on my 10th wash and it's still about 3/4 full.

So would that be measured in squirts/gallon? :)

My dad's E32 has 2 windshield wiper fluid tanks :rofl

This is my setup too. We don't have the Cold Weather Package, just the heated seats option (which is awesome) :)
