MY13 MBtex: Confirmed with Perforation?
I see that the MBtex will now come with perforation according to the order guide Greg posted. No one at the dealerships can confirm that they will be built that way.

If you go to MBUSA website, you can see the picture of ml350 2013 and it seems that MBtex comes with perforation.. Well this is just picture but. Is it good or not with perforation?

Steel Grey 2012 ML350 is wife's
Perforation is necessary IMO.. our new '12 ML has non perforated and our rears are too hot. Due to this, the wifey is forcing me to buy new ML with seat ventilation (unfortunately only available with leather pkg in '13).
BTW, the 2013 ML brochure shows the MBtex seats as perforated

Our W164 has non perforated full leather.
We have happily survived three summers, and temperatures up to 48oC (118oF) without a problem.
We have happily agreed to stay with non ventilated for the new car currently on order.

IMO I think the perforated holes makes the seat look more luxurious. We have the almond color so it kind of gives it a two tone look. Even though it is only ventilated and not a true AC it still makes difference on a hot day. Especially when my wife is always cold and I am always hot.

570 is for both vent seats.
You cannot order only one seat to have these options.
My config sheet from the dealer shows multi contour seats (driver and passenger)for 1100. This is a different and additional option than either of the above.

I think MBtex is now with perforation. Look at GL 2013 pictures at http://www.benzblogger.com/. ML should be the same.

2013 ML BLUETEC JULY 31
I have seen the 2013 ML MBTEX/Artico the holes are VERY tiny not like the leather perforations. But there must be a reason for them.
MBT with ventilation would not work the same as with leather, as a natural product leather will cool sooner then MBT. Ask an Elephant or cow. This is why a few here with 40+celcius about 105F have been fine with out ventilation. If not $1200 in Canada I would have ventilated
