Apparently the press release from last week and the BMW blog sites had US delivery starting March 2021. It doesn't take 5 months to ship from Germany to the US via boat. Maybe delayed DOT testing is the reason for the delay.
From what I have read, dealerships only have HEA build allocations, which can be fully modified within the HEA order guides. The full US order guides hasn't been released to date, or "leaked" to us on the forums. I suspect that the packages that BMW NA is going to offer for the US market has production delays, which would explain March 2021 market availability.
