I would be looking to switch as well but I have a hard time believing a new driver's seat costs ~10% of the total cost of the vehicle. If anyone has found an aftermarket seat that would work, I would be interested. |

Can anyone with the ventilated seats tell me if the heated portion is as good as regular (and always excellent) heated front seats? I'm considering the ventilation but must have very good / hot heated seats that BMW's have always had. Please advise about to special order! Thanks

I can confirm that the ventilated seats in my 2019 XDrive30i are very warm. On the third setting (three lights showing) they are quite toasty; I normally only set it on two.

I am also not that big of a fan of these ventilated seats but had gotten a good deal on my vehicle so I went for it. The lack of lateral support is pretty sad... I noticed a single X3 30i seat (passenger) for sale on ebay at around $799. Have you converted your ventilated seats yet, and if so how did you go upon doing so?! Cheers |

Neither my wife or I have any issues with the seats on long drives but you really have to try them to see how they feel to you. My seats are Canberra. I'll see if I have some pics.

The bolstering is definitely worse on the ventilated seats, but yeah, asking about comfort is like asking another person if they like their pants. Go have a try!

For anyone considering changing their seats, here are obstacles to consider:
- Center console buttons for ventilation would no longer work. - Car software is seat-aware, so changing may introduce new issues. - Potential differences in the wiring harness or connector. - Cost, labor and aggravation. |
