I noticed that about my new X1(U11) as well. In the European crash test videos, there is an additional airbag that pops up between the driver and the passenger(like on the new 5-series)
However, on the US crash test videos conducted by IIHS and NHTSA, that center airbag was missing.
I think it must be intended for European models. So when my 530i arrives, I assume it will also be missing the center airbag just like on my X1.
pic below shows 2023 X1(U11) side crash test. top one by NHTSA shows no center airbag on the US X1. bottom one by NCAP shows center airbag on European X1.
