As far as US not getting this option...Rhonda strikes again.
BMW only offered the diesel-fired version, so it wouldn't make much sense to offer the heater in the US where there were no diesel engines offered.

Webasto offer gasoline and diesel heaters, so I always thought it would be interesting to use the BMW retrofit kit with an aftermarket Webasto heater. Either that, or buy heated seats.
