I'm considering a Z4 which doesn't have them.
Any idea how much it might cost to install them?
TIA

Not sure what the cost is after market. I ordered them when I bought mine new from the factory last July. Worth every penny here in the cold NW USA.
It's usually cheaper to find a car with the options you want, rather than retrofit them. I've yet to see anyone install factory heated seats, but you can get aftermarket kits installed for about $250/seat. I've considered them, as my Z4 came without them as well, but always figured that BMW would point to them whenever an electrical problem came up. It's not that big a deal, as mine is actually a fair-weather driver, and my winter car (325i) does have them. But they'd be nice. My next Z4 will definitely have them. epbrown

This is also my concern. I was only considering a OEM install.... though I figure it'll be rather "steep". ;-) If the install was less than a grand, maybe I could swallow it. Given the price of the rest of the car, it doesn't seem to painful.
I'll be driving this year-round in the midwest. My truck has them and wow, they are quite nice.
Thanks
I suspect you'll have to get a quote from a dealer - if the do the install.
While I don't drive my Z4 in snow (mid-atlantic area), I do find that the heater warms the car up very quickly and top down driving at anything over
55o is quite comfortable without heated seats.Naturally, if you'll be driving in snow/ice, winter tires are mandatory on the Z4.
