Better Ventilated Seats Now?

BMW seems to have always used the lower performing "suck" style ventilated seats rather than the much better "blow" air conditioned seats that some American brands use. I have read in the regular 5 Series forums that the new 5 Series has far better ventilated seats than any BMW to date, to the point that people have to shut them off because they get so cold.

Anyone test theirs on the new M5 yet? I realize I am asking mid-winter in the northern hemisphere... so maybe not the best time, but maybe some southern hemisphere folks have a new M5.

Ventilated seats are a big deal to me since I live in a desert that gets up to 120 F in the summer.

Hopefully they went from suck to blow, like Mega Maid.

It has improved substantially over the G90s but it still sh.. compared to others I have experienced.

I feel it's much improved in G90 compared to F90
