I think the problem is that 90% of USA buyers of this vehicle will be soccer moms who would be mystified by the presence of a third pedal.

I've been considering an F25 X3 for my growing family, but the lack of a manual option gives me pause (never bought a car with an auto transmission before). If BMW NA would offer it with the DCT dual clutch automatic, I might consider that.
