Ventilated seats on the 5 series (or any other BMW if they're all like the ones found in the 5 series) are useless. The BMW Genius told me that it was just a fan, and that he even uses the ventilated feature in the winter along with heated seats to circulate the air. There is no cooling mechanism in these seats like most other manufacturers ventilated seats.
Like OP said you'll feel hot air coming out, and you'll notice it more around your neck area.
I got to drive a Cayenne GTS that had ventilated seats, and let me tell you in that car you will feel your butt getting cold within a couple of mins of turning on the ventilated seats.
If you're ordering a new BMW and live in a place that gets as hot as Dallas, do yourself a favor and skip the ventilated seats option...you can use the money for another option.
