I was told by my dealer when I ordered my 2005 545 that vented seats was NOT available.
Maybe they just sell it in Europe? I'll bet all those guys who bought their E60's over there will need the vented seats to cool off the burning sensation in their asses from the rapings they got when buying them.... heh.

It's called a "priority one" option.

I wanted it until I found out it was $1200. I asked to check it out on a demo model to see if it was worth the money. My dealer told me that it was an option but it had to be special ordered, so they didn't have it on any of their stock models. He also said that it was only available in black and tan.

I still would have ordered it.
Nothing worse than having your ass stick to a hot, black, leather seat.

Subterfuse Can you change your order? Mine is a 2005 delivered last month. CRRobert also has vent seats. I like the Nasca - it's on all the seating surfaces, front and back seats, as well as the doors. Used them a few times and they work great. It's in the 50's tonight so I may use the seat heaters in the morning - that's damn cold for us Florida folks
