Similar to my wife's Subaru heated seats. So slow and weak. By the time you feel any heat from them, your body temperature had warmed the seat for you. Pretty useless in both cases actually. Would not order again.
WOW - I suspect something was wrong with your car. This is such an incredible option and the only time I've ever seen it be slow is when it is less than 0 F out. Even then it is providing some heat within 5 minutes or so. Unless the F30 just has a really crap heated wheel. I do laugh however when people say "I have a pair of gloves they work fine" - to those I say "then you have never tried a heated steering wheel "
