If Sensafin is ordered without ventilated seats will the seating surfaces still be perforated?? It shows that way in the build photos but I wasnt sure.

Thanks SCA! Looks like you have the same seats I ordered. Coffee Sensafin and multicomfort. No ventilation.

Is that the poplar wood trim? If it is can you post a pic with that and the seats please? I am going back and forth with that and the open pore fine line.

Correct… 100% the exact seats.

It is the Anthracite-Brown Poplar Matte Finish Wood

If you don't mind when you have a chance could you take pics of the trim on the dash and by the shifter.

Currently traveling, the X5 is at home… this is the only photo on my phone that shows the dash and center console.

Thank you SCA. We are in SC as well. Do you find those seats comfortable? Any regrets for not getting the merino leather? Thanks for your reply! Jim

X5Jim's user avatarX5Jim You are welcome! I find the seats to be very comfortable.. no complaints. I am 5’11”, thin/athletic build and in my mid-50s. No regrets not ordering the merino leather as I have plenty of driver and front passenger seat time in a family member’s 2020 G05 M50i with merino, ventilated, and massaging that I do not find nearly as comfortable. At least not for my body type.

Ok thats good news. I saw one report that said the comfort seats were narrower between the bolsters and dug into his hips. (He didnt mention his build) I was wondering about the vinyl in our summer heat. But I gotta think the perforations help with it breathing. I dont think the merino is perforated without ventilation.
