Have you always wanted to drive a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/x6">BMW X6</a>, but felt that leaving one of your four friends waiting on the curb was a drawback? Tell that friend to buck up and head over to your local <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw/">BMW</a> dealer, because the X6 is getting an optional third rear seat.<br />
<br />
The additional seat is available on all version of the X6 with the exception of the ActiveHybrid variant. Along with the extra (and from the looks of the pic above, tiny) middle squab, the Spartanburg, South automobileolina-built BMW X6 is getting new 20-inch alloy wheels, interior leather options, and vicinity lighting.<br />
<br />
In addition, there will be available enhanced content for Apple iPhone users. Through the BMW Apps system and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+connecteddrive/">ConnectedDrive</a>, iPhone users will be granted access to Facebook and Twitter. The BMW Apps system also allows iPhone users to listen to radio stations from around the world regardless of where they're located. Learn more in the official press release after the jump, which also details changes to the X6's kissing cousin, the more capacious <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/x5">X5</a>.<br />
