Not sure on the E63 but the GT's AMG performance seats do have ventilation.

Do the sport seats have the massage feature? I had a new E300 loaner for a day and those seats blew away my AMG seats in every category. In fact, the massage feature was one of the only reasons that made me reconsider not ditching AMG for Audi next time around.

the standard multi contour seats (known as standard seats) do have massage function in them.
I don't believe the performance seats have this function.

Not to resurrect this topic, but can someone who has the AMG Performance Seats confirm that they're ventilated in the e63s? I'm interested in the wagon, so that'd be ideal, but I assume the wagon and sedan are the same in this respect. I'ved looked at numerous interior pics but haven't been able to make out the door controls in any car with the performance seats. Thanks!

Bumping an old thread to ask those with the performance seats how happy they are with them in daily driving?
Are they too stiff, too difficult to get in and out of, any other concerns?
It looks like they're a more comfy variation of my GT-R seats.
Thanks

I love them, as the support is excellent. You either fit in them or you don’t. I like firm seats, and they have lumbar and thigh extension adjustments. Have only driven 3 hours straight, and we’re fine. E63 setup is excellent with regards to steering wheel and pedals.

It's interesting that I just saw this thread. I have only driven my car around 200 miles in the first week of ownership and I think I may regret ordering the sport seats. I love the way that they look and feel to the touch but I feel like getting into the seats is a strain on my lower back. I have a brief history of sciatica but it hasn't acted up in a while. I may be jumping the gun here because I also worked out pretty hard on Wednesday and that may have triggered it. Anyway, the seats are great, but I may not be! My seats have A/C and heat...

I have them too and I have no back issues derived from the seats. Yes they are not as padded but that's the intent- a more race feel seat that supports aggressive driving. If I had pre existing back conditions the regular seats (Performance is the less padded seat) would be my choice without hesitation. I have driven both and in reality I could live with either but my ED1 only comes with the Performance Seats.
As for the ventilation; its not great. My RS7 with the comfort seat option is much much better. I can feel the air blowing thru several layers (eg suit jacket) when Im too lazy to take it off for a quick run to the bank or whatever.
