For any IX owner, how good are the ventilated seats? Do they cool enough? Do they affect the seat comfort at all?

Hopefully they do a better job than in my x7. There you hardly notice anything of the ventilation (not even the massage by the way).

Hi,
I have them. I have had AC seats in most of my cars (since I live in hot S. Florida). They are pretty good. What's unique is that they have 4 settings, which is unusual. Most of the time its just 3 (low, med, high). In the highest setting they work pretty well, but the fan noise is quite loud

They do work extremely well, but agree quite loud in the highest setting. Really happy with radiant heat as well. The armrests are hot almost immediately.'

This is helpful and the heating will be great in the Michigan winters. I like the idea of cooling seats but am thinking it may not be worth it. On a different note, what are the advantages of 22" tires vs 20" I thought larger tires usually meant a less comfortable ride?

they are okay - you can feel it. I have always liked cooled seats as I like my body to be cool without having an arctic gale blowing in my face

They work better than my X5 actually. And ventilated is probably a misnomer - like other BMW "ventilated seats," they don't push air out - they pull air in and keep you from sticking to the seats.
