The heated seats get quite hot...and the coverage on the seats is pretty good too.

The whole thing does heat up, I've checked the last 3 days in a row. Position at 9&3 heats up the fastest, which leads me to believe the elements are placed there and then they use conductors for the rest of the wheel.

Here are some pics from a thermal imaging camera attachment for my iPhone of the steering wheel and seats heating up. This is one use for my car during winter in Maine, make cool pics.

It really is amazing.
Just sucks that it's winter now and can't heat it up lol. Although the button does still light up to heat the steering wheel and it does say it on the dash I've never actually pressed it and left it on to see what happens I figured since it's known to be a function that doesn't work with it not to leave it on just encase a something in their gets burnt out idk. If anyone knows that would be great.
I'd assume they would disable the function at bmw where they installed it since you can't use it. But not the case. Anyways it is a great feature and wish I had it on my new wheel but you can't have both and to me the M-perf wheel I have was well worth both the money and the loss of the feature. I know many disagree but when you're in the car 2-3 hours a day and you hold the steering wheel the whole time. Trust me you feel a difference 🙌👊
Same here.

The M Performance steering wheel is not wired for heated steering. Pushing the heated steering wheel button serves no purpose as long as you don't switch back to the stock steering wheel. So, the function ain't gone, but it is of no use in the meantime.

Awesome! Which one do you use, the FLIR ONE? I've always wondered how good they are but you've convinced me to buy one
