Can't feel ventilated seats, should I?

I had ventilated seats on a rental Milan and it provided a decent breeze. After activating it on my 06 E55, I am struggling to notice any difference(both driver/passenger sides). Should I feel something or is it broken? TIA

our seats don't push air, they pull it. you may feel a very slight suction if anything.

The thing you should notice is that you don't have a sweatty back on hot days. It is barely noticable, but it works rather well (and its not subliminal) by providing a dry shirt.

But if you expect your clothes to blow in the wind you'd better open a window :-)

Exactly. I am a sweat monster and I can definitely tell when they are on.

Try a pair of shorts on a warm day.....if your legs don't stick to the seat then the ventilated seat works.

Thanks for the 411...
