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!

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!!!
