These restrictions are part of why they are so extremely cheap in the USA and why the USA does not have 3-4 Month waiting lists from order date to build date.
I understand your plight. My comments were relative to the US market.I feel for all of you in Canada, South Africa, Australia. You really get punished by the taxation system on autos.

I have driven BMWs since 1977 and have yet to find a more restrictive ordering process.
My salesperson ( a 15 yr BMW vet) is also very unhappy with the "system" which only means other customers are frustrated.

I wish I was the kind of car guy who could just take what is offered BUT then maybe I would be driving a Honda.
