They save gas too cuz you wont use the A/C as much.

Even the lexus IS and ES has them

They make a HUGE difference in comfort. I've got black leatherette and got the vests in black. They look OK too. Don't stand out or seem out of place at all.

Hunter399 · 05-27-2006, 10:52 PM

Those dont look too good......

I dont like the look of those seat covers at all

canucklion · 05-27-2006, 11:15 PM

you can get the seat ventilation system installed from Katzkin

foofighter · 05-28-2006, 12:19 AM

that is one thing that i did like about my 06 GS man it was nice during the summer months especially with black on black

NaTuReB0Y · 05-28-2006, 12:26 AM

I would get those over xenons anyday of the week..........

Gearcraft · 05-28-2006, 01:05 AM

thats one hairy seat.

any pics on the e90? my back sweats a lot specially with the backrest inflated to hug me. i just keep it deflated because of that. i'd always keep it hugging me tight if it weren't too hot.

md37793 · 05-28-2006, 10:29 AM

are those uggs for a 3er+

In person they look OK. The don't stand out nor detract from the car. They don't look as "hairy" especially after they've been broken in after a couple of days and the wool has settled in place. Keep in mind these are a genuine BMW OEM accesory. I've taken co-workers to lunch and they've liked the additional comfort.

Most importantly they make a HUGE, HUGE difference in ventilation comfort (plus provide additional padding and back support). My back no longer sweats AT ALL even on the hottest days (upper 90's) we've had so far here in Texas.

I dont understand why they dont have this as an option. I cant immagine its that costly to them to make it for say $500. Cost to them has got to be under $100. I love the seats in the 7...

what/who is katzkin?

Agni · 05-28-2006, 10:41 PM

I dont think the TSX has them, the TL doesnt either.

Its not even a regular option on the 5er u have to special order it.

Come on BMW! Mayb it doesnt get hot in Germany but think about the rest of us!

MoreCowbell · 05-28-2006, 11:08 PM

those are too ugly for words.

Sorry.

Gearcraft · 05-28-2006, 11:41 PM

i want to see one in person.

kinda looks like a back of a gorilla in the pic.

i would love to have a cooler feeling seat with a little extra cushion.

Nikki · 05-28-2006, 11:56 PM

Definitely not something I would get, even living in Florida. I guess I just don't have a sticky bum.

From my experience, guys butts are inherently sweatier than girls.

Also, girls get to wear short skirts to cool off even more ...
