Rear seat air vents

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Are there air conditioning/heating vents under the front seats for the back seating area? You can't see any in the pictures and this is an issue with the Mini Clubman.

No there is none, but not much of problem on my X1 or the wife's Mini as air flow is good.

Hope this helps

When it's 98 on a typical day in the summer in South Carolina no rear vents is definitely a problem. Our Mini takes 10 minutes to cool down.

There are double vents under each front seat (and woofer speakers too), close to transmission tunnel. At first I was a little disappointed, because on most cars of this size you have vents with fancy grilles and knobs which give a touch of luxury, but the air conditioning in X1 does a very good job i heating and cooling and maybe this is a better solution, at least kids don't mess with the buttons.
One thing about AC that impress me is de-fogging of windshield, it is done in an instant.

Cleaned the inside today and confirm I do have air vents under the front seats (sorry Macium) Air blows throw them with great effect

My dad's F25 X3 is being used as a baby carrier. During the decision process we saw that the pre LCI X1 did not have center rear vent (behind armrest) so we decided to bump up to the X3.

Also the rear center armrest, seat back pocket makes the difference!
