Honestly, I don't understand why they would only offer this in the driver seat and not in the passenger seat. This is available in both seats in Europe but apparently not in North America!

When I bought my car, I even had them check into making this a custom order to have it in the passenger seat, but BMW Canada at that time said that it is NOT available (even as a custom order)!
I always assumed that it was not in the passenger seat due to the air bag sensor - the sensor that detects if someone is sitting in the passenger seat or not.

But, I guess not since my USA 2010 750Li has active seating for both driver and passenger.
