Seats physically can't go flat
You can remover them fairly easily. A outfit named Schrader puts out a pretty slick rear seat delete kit. End result is a flat panel where you worthless back seat was and you have the 1-2" well where the cargo nets/grommets are.
Do a search either here on Google for more info. For a step by step a fellow motorist did a nice 'how to' on Motoring Alliance (awesome MINI site if you haven't checked it out)

I have seen a setup for taking your dog in the car that uses the rear seat delete shelf and add a piece for the cargo area that results in what you describe.
I did not bookmark as it was pretty prohibitive price wise and what I wanted to do was to have my local car audio installer create the back shelf to contain a sub-woofer. That and the rear seat delete got me the rear shelf.
Mine ended being a little diff as now the back shelf is higher than the rear seat delete cause he needed the vertical space for the Sub and some space below it for sound quality.
Worked out pretty well as now I have basically a back stop, about 4", that my dog can lean against when she gets a ride!

if you still want the seats to be usable and then fold down at times and have a somewhat flat area in the back with out the dip in it. There is nothing that i know of made that can take the weight of a large dog or cooler. You wuold have to build something.
Look into a clubman and you will find that has the flat floor option as standard in the US.

Check this out for $170 CAD:

Still more than i'd wanna spend. I would think SOMEBODY on this forum would be enterprising enough and skilled enough in carpentry to design a template. It would seem to be that somebody could design a plywood piece with some carpeting glued on for under $25. Then turn around and sell them for $50. Nice profit.
