Strange, but if you look at Real OEM - it looks like only the US cars get the knee airbags. Not sure how accurate this is info is, but may explain a few deliveries. I would be shocked that non-US cars would not have this

Should affect US cars only. In average more people in the US drive without using their seatbelts than in other countries therefore the American crash tests put more weight on crashes where the driver doesn't have a seatbelt. To still get a good crash test rating BMW therefore uses bigger driver and passenger front airbags and also knee airbags in the US.
