Ordering Ventilated Seats?
Hi all,
I'm looking to custom order a G22 M440i in the next couple months. I really want to spec ventilated seats with the Mocha interior. I heard somewhere before that BMW's cooled seats are far less comfortable or adjustable compared to the standard heated-only seats. Could anyone confirm this? Does anyone have ventilated seats on the new 4 series? I don't think it's an option on the 3s Any help is greatly appreciated! |

I’ve had ventilated seats on 3 vehicles now though admittedly none were BMWs.
I opted to go without them on my M440. I found I didn’t use them often enough and when I did they didn’t work anywhere nearly as well or as quickly as the heating when the temps were reversed. Not worth it IMO. |

Thanks for the input. In that case, might consider skipping them and going with the red interior color

YMMV but yeah I'd say just get whatever interior you want and don't worry about the seat cooling.

Good to know. I test drove a Caddy CT5-V on a hot summer day and noticed they had little to no effect as well. Similarly, they were just ventilated, no A/C. Kinda digging the Arctic Blue / Red contrast combo anyways.
On another note, how are you enjoying the M440? Any issues come up or smooth sailing? |

Lol just tried building the car again for fun and it looks like they completely removed cooled seats as an option, for all interior options... That's odd, didn't hear about any options changing.

I have a 2021 BMW M550i, and when I test drove the car, it did not have ventilated seats and it was very comfortable. I ordered my car with the ventilated seats, and it is equally as comfortable. I would not worry about the comfort if I were you.

I inquired about this recently and this was the response. It's unfortunate but at least now i can order Oyster interior, putting deposit down tomorrow on custom order

Good to hear ventilated seats are just as comfortable. Lots of reviews out there against BMW V-seats.

I have that option and in the 4 series, when you could order ventilated seats, the entire seat is slightly different as you lose the adjustable side bolster. It loses a lot of bolster and if you like that hug feeling, you will be better off without.

Wow really? On the M550i with the Nappa leather you don't. I don't know why it is like that in the 3/4 series.
