The first 6 words of your post actually contains the answer to your slight confusion. And this is an oft discussed topic as well as misunderstood or misconceived option.
The wording in the BMW TIS says:
"The active seat ventilation enables individual cooling of the seat cushions and backrests. "
My interpretation is...the fans are intended to affect the temperature of the seat cushions...not to blow air on the passenger or "directly" cool the passenger...it is designed to affect the temp/comfort of the seat by blowing air onto the rear and underside of the seat.
Here's a direct link to seat ventilation on the TIS website:
