Cooled seats
Heated seats have been around a long time, but when did "cooled" seats
first appear? The first time I remember hearing about them and thinking " Oooh, nice!" was on a MB S-class 2 or 3 years ago. Reason I'm posting in this group is the leather seats in my '98 M3 are really a problem in the Arizona heat right now; probably not helped by the fact that it's a convertible. If I park where there's no shade, which is unavoidable sometimes, even with a sunshade and the windows down slightly, top up of course, the seats are very hot. Being leather, there's no air circulation, so after I get home, my back is literally dripping with sweat. Sounds like it's time to get a lambswool seat cover or something. It's gotten so bad, my wife (who's actually the main driver) and I had a big fight as to the probability of getting a retrofit kit from BMW to add cooled seats. Without even calling them I'm 99.9% sure they would LTAO. #1 it's a '98 before cooled seats appeared in any production car, #2 the cost would be astronomical considering it's a B'mer. She was really hurt that I would dismiss her idea so easily. Women! Thoughts? |

Cooled seats
Or what about those "covers" made from wooden balls strung together
like a net?

My brother drove a cab in a past life (he's an artist) and said they utterly rawk but for orthopedic not thermal reaosns. I do have sheepskins and they make the WORLD of difference in summer and winter. They're black and you can leave he car all day in 100 F sun, get in and sit down and not be burned. Try doing that with leather or vinyl. -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net |
