sounds like a dumb decision on BMW's part..., yes it costs, but at least built a vent without separate control

One thing I always tell my clients: Never Assume when it comes to BMW.

I can understand not having vents on a 3row x5 because the third row is an afterthought but on a true 3 Row SUV like the X7 this inexcusable. |

BMW does need better descriptions of their packages, especially on the build site.

Volvo XC90 - Vents are standard, four zone climate control optional. Audi Q7 - No 3rd row vent. The older models do have vents. Infinity XC60 - No 3rd row vent, however, you have USB ports. I think the older models have vents. Acura MDX - No 3rd row vent, however, you have USB ports... Maybe to plug in a fan Land Rover Discovery - Optional Lexus GX460 - Vents are standard, three zone climate control optional BMW X5 (F15) - Vents with the optional 3rd row. I am not sure about other vehicles. I simply don't understand why this is an optional item; most 3rd row are so small that only children can fit comfortably back there... Needless to say this is bullish*t! I can't imagine how pissed you must be after spending so much money, only to find out after the fact that you don't have what should have been standard equipment. |

Air suspension is standard but not air vents. Nothing personal against you but your disclaimer does not sit well with me. |

I think all vehicles in the NE come w/ the package as a default, including mine. Regardless, I make sure to always take it for obvious reasons.
I find it pretty ridiculous that the vents don't come without it!

If BMW wants to add additional things for the 3rd row, like heated seats in the CWP, then great. But I agree, for a true 3 row car, all 3 rows should be at a minimum, normally ventilated. |

Third Row Ventilation
Recently bought a new X7 in NH and fortunately picked up on the fact you need to order the CWP for rear ventilation ducts. This is extremely important for us as we have two large dogs who ride back there all the time. Winters are in Florida so we really need AC back there.
Right after picking the car up we couldn’t get the rear ventilation to work. Checking the owners manual it turns out the rear seats have to be up for the third row ventilation to work??????? What idiot engineer came up with this idea?? I called our Sales guy and he had no idea about this- nor did any body at the dealership. The Service Manager put in a request to BMW to see if there is an over ride. The response was “ that’s just the way it is” I am rip shit - never would have bought the car if I’d known about this. Has anybody found a way to over ride this crazy system???? |

Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear this. Apparently the BMW engineers figured, "nobody would have use for 3rd row ventilation with the 3rd row down".
I wonder if you could deep dive into the system, and find a way to override the seat sensors, so they always thought the seats were up? |

Yeah, that was my first thought. 2nd option would be to physically find the sensors and jam them. I'm guessing this would interfere with the motorized functions, though, of raising and lowering the seats.

Does anybody know if the climate control (air conditioning) works in the third row if one side is up and the other down? If it does, does it make a difference which side?
