Actually the 2nd row reclines in an X with 3rd row seating and are more comfortable, so that makes for another reason to have the 3rd row seating. I guess, BMW may be using that to justify the high cost of the 3rd row option

I wanted reclining seats as we do long trips and the kids fall asleep but unfortunately you cannot have that without the third row option.
I agree reclining would be more comfortable. I think what I heard was more to do with the part that you sit on. If anyone is going for the third row just give the second row a good up and down bounce test, especially if you have a boney butt.
