That was a 2000s Audi issue. As far as I can tell, no one else had that problem.

My 2013 LR4 has had no issues with the heated steering wheel in 5 years, and must say, I've not heard of such issues ever.

I can’t believe they wouldn’t replace it - that seems pretty obvious, if it’s not working it needs to be replaced.

My 911 has a upshift gear indicator and it always amazes me too how it wants you to upshift at such low speeds. You also brought up the new idrive system ... I think they really did a beautiful job on it, the menus are nicer then they ever were and pretty futuristic .... also whenever I get into my sons car (the 340i) to move it in the driveway I love the noises the car makes when you first start it. .... that cool beeping electronical noise is really soothing. |

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the new M3! More photos!?
I kept reading your post as Audi TT and not Porsche. |
