I am drving a 2005 Lexus ES300 loaner while my wife's GS300 is in the shop. This car has ventilated seats. There's a gauge on the dash that i can adjust the temp. If i want heat, it blows hot air throught the seats (full of small holes). If I want cool air, I adjust the dial down and cool air comes through. I wish i had this in my 545! This would be a great feature in San Diego.

Any other features you'd like to see? added?

Yes, but I believe you can only get vented (for cooling) seats or heated, but not both ...

I actually ordered my 530xi (in production) with ventilated seats. I had to order nappa leather and the comfort seats (which I wanted anyways). However the heat doesnt come through the perforated holes, its still the wamirng coil I beleive.

You also have the seat heaters, so you only need the ventilation for cooling.
Works perfectly fine!
