Why?
They have enough room.
Could it be a luxury?
Cost savings on the design and production line. All X5s coming with the feature allows for one set of seat bases, one set of tooling, one installation and training manual, etc, etc, etc. I believe that they are also wider in the rear due to the longer length of the body, which would allow for the seat to recline.

Like I said, probably never going to happen in the X3 unless the public demands it. More than likely, the public will never demand it in the X3 and mid-production facelift does not usually include uni-body rework.

If enough people asked for it during X3 focus groups, you can be sure that it would be on the next version in 2018?
