My Ride: On Order for European Delivery 550i SilverGrey Sports, Winter, Prem Pkg, Prem sound, NAV, HUD, comfort seats

I will be signing the docs today for a European delivery 550

I saw a post here that linked to bimmerfest talking about priority 1 (call-in) options.

Asked the dealer who has not heard from product specialist whether I can get a ventilated seat on a 550 or what it would cost.

I drove the 545 and found the seats were a tad warm. Ventilated seats were on an Infiniti M I test drove and I really liked them.

So in short. Has anyone here ever tried / looked into this?

Thanks all.

My Ride: E61 525iA Build 2004/08. "Safirschwartz Metallic". Navi Pro, Adaptive Headlights, Bi-Xenon, Panorama Sunroof etc... CIP 18.00.01 (No noticed bug)

When I visited my dealer, they actually had a car in their showroom with seat ventilation. Taste is of course individual, but i really think that perforated leather was ugly (!). It was beige, and it's possible that the perforation is less visible if the leather is black. As I said, taste is individual, and if you live in an area with many sunny days, you might still want to consider seat ventilation as a valuable option.

Cyclist needs a US Spec answer and unfortunately I cannot supply one at this time. Will try to get answer from my dealer. My initial thought is u can but may require Comfort Seats and / or Nasca Leather. I have posed this query to my dealer. Let u know as soon as I hear back.
