Allocations are based on the size of the dealer and relationship with BMW. Look at it this way as an extreme example. You go to the dealer and want a stripped X1, yet the dealer has slots in near future for high margin M cars. The dealer is going to say, please take something we have one on the lot, because they are going to make a lot on the incoming slots.
But plenty of dealers have slots that will replace an incoming car with the exact one you want. Some dealers are just more flexible. No reason to have to wait more than 2 to 3 months from order to delivery.
