Keep this in mind if your plan is to take advantage of whatever holiday deals NA is likely to throw out there. They usually expire just after New Years. Some years they have accepted late offers on in transit cars, but I've been told there have been other promotions where they don't.
I'm going to take advantage of the $1500 USAA discount, which is good through the end of the year. My CA assures me that as long as you "pay for the car" before EOY, the incentive is still valid, regardless of actual delivery date. Maybe we'll see more incentives, directly from BMW, beginning in November.

Zero chance any authorized local BMW dealer will retrofit the new Nav.
