Weird Pricing question

For the GT in the USA, there are various options that will get you heated seats:
- Fronts (on stock seats) alone
- Fronts with active comfort seats alone
- Cold weather package (front/rear/steering wheel)
- Rear comfort seats (rear alone)

So, since the front active comfort seats include heat, one would assume that if you also chose the cold weather package (the only way to get heated rear seats without the high cost fancy ones), you'd get a break on the fronts since they already have it. NOT SO, at least per BMWUSA. So, as in my case, where I wanted the active comfort front seats and the rears to be heated, I ended up paying twice for the front seat heaters. Does anyone else thing this is double-charging for the same thing? I'd much rather have that $500 (the US cost for fronts alone) or so in my pocket rather than theirs!
