Double charge?

I ordered a 535i x-drive GT on Monday for deliver from the factory. I'd been waiting over a year, hoping they'd make the diesel available, but no joy.

Wonder if others may have run into this: if you order the cold weather package, it includes heated front/rear seats and the steering wheel. If you order the active multicontour front seats, they come with heated seats, regardless of whether you have the cold weather package or not. So, if you order them both together to get the steering wheel and rear heated, one would expect the price of the cold weather package would be less, since a significant portion was already paid for in the front seats. But, when BMW accepted the order, they priced it with both being full price (the dealer questioned this, and this is the result). ANyone else run into this? I mean it's not huge, but probably in the range of say $400-500 (the cold weather package as a stand-alone is $900 in the US). Figure I paid them enough already!
