3 seats in the back!

Just got back from the dealer, third seat will be available in the back (at least for Europe) at no extra cost from April 2011 onwards.

damn, I just bought my X6. I love everything except for the 2 seaters in the back.

At least this option will be available in the future for me to modify.
I wonder if the two seats on the sides will need to be changed as well (since they are a bit "bucketed")?

If so, I bet the change will be quite pricey...

Dealers lie.

Most of the time they just want you to buy it now instead of waiting for the next change.

I don't pretend to know anything about anything, but I'm guessing this will not be a US available option.

Are these only available when you buy a new X6 or are you able to fit them in the X6 we already have.

These are available with the new x6 as an option from April 2011 (Europe). Am sure it can be a retrofit, but it could be costly (as zerranotss noted). Not sure whether you would need to change all 3 seats or just the middle portion. It would also require changing the car specs (again, at least in Europe), as the car papers list how many occupants can the car take.

According to the dealer this update is not LCI. Am expecting his feedback by email today regarding the approx. date for the LCI.

IMO the 4 seat configuration was the dumbest thing about this otherwise awesome vehicle. They must have had earfuls of complaints. Maybe there is something I don't understand.

Don't know why not avail in NA - the vehicle is made here. Another stupidism (or pride) if they don't.

Anyway, nice to see, for others. A retrofit will be very expensive.

there will be no LCI in 2011, people in the BMW system has confirmed that for me. I think there will be in Mars 2012. We allready have a "pre" LCI with the extra features and the 5 seter.
