The Active seatback is for the sides of how much they hold you on each turn. they are sensational

I noticed the heat button. Are the seats also cooled? I noticed you can turn them off. How often do you use it?

no, the seat from the pictures doesn't have the ventilation option. and as you can see, it's missing a buttom between heated seat and active seat. that's where cool seat control would be if the car has the ventilated seat.

Yup, I suspect the reason they wouldn't let me order 455 (active seats) in combination with 4MF (active seat backs) wasn't so technical - they just ran out of space for all the control buttons!

lol, and you would think the point iDrive is available in the first place was to eliminate the buttoms...

Is it possible to order seat heating and colling in combination?
I remember that the car configurator didnt allow that last time I tried

Only because you get heating as standard if you order the active seat ventilation option...

True, but if I find my behind being boiled while driving, I don't want to have to fiddle around with iDrive!!!
