Ventilated seats?

Does anyone know why the new X3 doesn't have the ventilated seats option?

Makes no sense to me that a 60k car doesn't offer that option... I am almost tempted to drop the leather and get the half leather half cloth option...

BTW, anyone has that option?

Nope. It's a 5 series and up feature. Would like to have had it, too.

My grandfathers new Lexus has this and I actually like it (my wife hates it). It's a preference and it would be nice to see the X3 have it as an option.

I personally, even though I like having it, would not choose it. This would add perforated seats and I have had these is a few cars, in each one the seats are very hard to clean and I find myself using a pin to clean out the perforations. I would hate to see how messy it gets under the leather.

I created a thread on half leather think its a good compromise (best of both worlds) and comes STD where I am on msport in black and oyster. See below

I know some people like the fabric but it reminds me of the Mazda 3 hatch my wife uses for work. :-)

If you like cloth go to a custom auto upholstery shop they should be able to put cloth center inserts or what ever you think works best for you.
