I could be wrong but I think it's more to do with whether or not the seat folds down for load through. My 03 seats don't fold and has the bulge.

I don't what the story is - seems almost random. Here's a 2000 with the flatter seat design: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1259032804.htm but some later (2002) cars like this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1266480856.htm still have the bulge! Must be some explanation .... :D

Seat fold down is an option from the factory. It's not by model for the sedans. 

The Jap market E39's all had a solid fixed seat back. In the monitor equipped car the radio & video modules were mounted to the seat back in the boot. Some have the ski hatch like ours but not all.

Euro spec cars mostly had fold down seats & the modules mounted in the L/H rear corner.

That is a folding seat, and a non-folding seat.

 

I'd not noticed before :-)

Right - so load-through = flatter seat!
