rear AC vents

[mcgrady]

I've got a question...

Are the rear AC vents standard (just without the dual zone and the controls in the back)

...or are the rear AC vents only when you buy the $700 rear climate package?

Thanks in advance, for helping me during this very trying time

You get the vents in the rear of the centre console as standard ..

you will also not have rear tinted (privacy) windows

here's how it looks without Rear Climate Package

Also note that the picture above is equipped with the optional heated rear seats.
Also, on mine, ( I do have rear climate) there are two manual knobs for temp. They don't do anything on mine though.

hey xnsf thanks for the clarification...and thanks for the pic too :-)

it's one thing to be helpful, another to be helpful and document your source, and it's "a wholenother" thing to put a pic up.

So basically the rear climate just makes the it "dual zone" in the back.

Our "wabbit" is quite a helpful lad for sure .

on a side note...it's absolute blasphemy to have a mercedes-benz googlead on a BMW forum...

I have a follow up to this question. Does the rear climate package also provide additional vents on the side pillars?

I have rear climate on my '08, and there are vents on the side pillars also. However I can't comment about their presence on a non-rear climate package car.
