Love the Space Gray! Car look incredible. Mine is scheduled for week 4. Does anyone know what week 4 is considered in BMW production terms? Trying to figure out when I can expect to get the car. I was pushed out 6 weeks due to shortages.

Mine was slated for a week 49 build and is now revised to week 6 :/. Hoping they are just being conservative.

I think BMW across the board uses the Europe/ISO standard week calendar. Week 4 is Jan 20 - 26 by that convention.

Zipforia, so shiny, just waxed? Perforated seats and dashboard contrast stitching are elegant. On some, I do not like the contrast stitch on seats, too many lines, however on the dash it just flows with the lines.

Yeah...the contrast on the stitching goes well with the leather. Z. |

Congrats! Ventilated seats, very nice. Mine (far more modest car) M Sport space gray should be here by the end of the month. I hope I retire from this forum, the wait for the car is getting to me and is quite exhausting.

I know what you mean about the wait. Pretty much did me in towards the end. But don't retire! Everyone's input is what makes something like this great! When it arrives, LOTS of pictures! Z. |

Nice looking SAV!!!
Did you get roof rails in Satin Aluminum on purpose or it just came like that? I thought M Sport support to have black roof rails. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks a lot. Last edited by letsgobmw; 01-15-2014 at 10:09 PM.. |

The BMW website describes this package as "Active and Ventilated." The term "Active" is applied to the Ventilated Seats (and quite loosely, I might add). This is what the Owner's Manual says: "Active seat ventilation, front The seat cushion and backrest surfaces are cooled by means of integrated fans. The ventilation cools the seat, e. g., if the vehicle interior is overheated or for continuous cooling at high temperatures." Now, I'm not sure if this is performed automatically or manually. I would suspect it would be automatic for it to be "Active." I haven't tested this feature since we're in Winter season (granted I am in So. California) and hasn't gotten hot enough yet. Also, the Owner's Manual goes on to say: "After a short time, the system automatically moves down one level in order to prevent excessive cooling." From what I've read by other BMW owners' that has/had this feature, for it to be effective in really cooling you, the A/C should be on with with a dedicated airflow to the footwell (either footwell only or combination of footwell and something else) for the seat fans to pick up the cooled air. If not, the fan is just pushing regular cabin air. In saying this, I don't know just how someone can be "excessively cooled". But, it is a feature BMW claims and tout and can claim to be "Active." Z.
