I am negotiating on a 2012 X5 50. For unknown reasons, you cannot get active ventilated seats with either the M-sport package or the Sport Activity Package as of MY'12. The dealer had no explanation...that's just the way it is.

I live in Texas where it is REALLY hot from early June until late September, so ventilated seats have been a priority item for me. However, I also would like the special suspension and trim details of the M-sport package. But I can't have both.

So I need to make a decision: ventilated seats or Sport package. What do you all think?
