The debate over BMW’s ventilated seats is a golden oldie. Does warm air go into them or A/C-cooled air come out of them? The issue has been discussed for many years over many model series.

My conclusion regarding my former 5 series and 8 series is that A/C-cooled air came out of them, though many disagreed with me.

I lost that when I dallied with Lexuses (aka Lexi). There, clearly warm air was being exhausted through the seats, a rather dunderheaded solution, given that occupants’ butts and backs were blocking much of whatever was going on there.

Now, on the cusp of deciding whether to actually buy the M60 I ordered, has been built and is awaiting assignment to a ship, I am truly hoping that we can conclude that A/C air is coming out of the seats.

I’m so…obsessed…about this (living in very toasty North Florida/South Georgia) that confirmation of this could be just enough to clinch the decision and nudge me into a fersure purchase.

So all comments regarding this are appreciated. One way to test (beyond actually just feeling the seats) is to place a tissue on the seat. Is it being gently blown upward? If so, the seats are A/C cooled.
