Ditto. My R56 got pretty hot, especially for the relatively mild climate where it lived (Texas and Arkansas). On the other hand, it soothed my back trouble on trips, and could easily be toned down by going to the lowest setting. My F56 is cooler, and as winter comes, I'll probably consider it too cool.

My skinny spouse has a different opinion, of course. He was never comfortable with the old bunwarmers, and said they were too hot.

Sure wish MINI had considered a middle-range compromise.

I've changed my mind, they're hot enough for me.

I'm not a big fan of them, but it was -29.5'C tonight.

I can imagine some people would want hotter.

I'd love it if they were hotter, but unlike the WRR crowd, I'm not unhappy that I've got them even at the lower output.

This is definitely a subjective situation, I find them uncomfortably hot and my wife is the opposite.

Second that. I find mine get pretty warm initially, then cool off. I usually put it on low and can barely feel it. My wife puts hers on high and leaves it there!
