I guess with no kids and dark seats it might be worth it. I would not get them again. |

Give the seat a hard 'pat' open palmed and it will clean out any small particles that get stuck or get a Dyson vacuum, they work wonders on seats, carpet etc

I’m new to vented seats, I understand BMW doesn’t use AC air, just cabin air which is what I would want. I would worry about cold air blowing into a seat after sitting out in the sun, the dew point inside the seat would likely be high enough to cause condensation depending on how cold and how fast conditioned air is introduced?

Really? I'm not expert but BMW website says that the leather is perforated either way. If you have BMW comfort seat with Vernasca leather, would you mind confirming your leather doesn't have perforations?

Got extended coffee merino with luxury seats mostly for the massage seats, but I would have chosen ventilation too if it was an independent option. Definitely annoying that the seats aren’t cooled after driving multiple American built rent vehicles that have it and have enjoyed that feature. Also had a car with cooled seats and in the beginning they were great but cooling functionality degraded over time. I assume air flow became obstructed by cushioning molding to my body and blocking airflow as it was mashed in by my body,.
In short, in a car, I have experienced the seat cooling off before cabin reached desired cooling temperature and that was amazing! Hope I will own a car like that again one day! But without unlimited money ... comprises have to be made and I have to accept ventilated seats to get that 12 inch display and other technologies that the x5 has.... so don’t regret my luxury seats with ventilation..... |

I don't foresee a problem with my ventilated seats. It's my understanding that all or perhaps most manufacturers design ventilated seats with small fans behind them that pull cabin air thru the perforations, sucking body heat off, not inject A/C air into them. At least my Lexus works that way. |
