Since these are relatively cheap items that no one in their right mind would do without, I believe BMW sales folks keep these in their "back pocket" as negotiation tools and "throw them in" with the deal if they feel it will help seal the deal or make the customer a bit more pleased with the transaction. If you make enough of a stink about it, I'll bet you get can them thrown in too...
