"I spoke with the Sales Manager who stated that BMWUSA is allowing a limited amount of X5's to be ordered with the third row. I got an email today that the District Manager was in the store and 100% confirmed a few 3rd rows are being allowed to be built. Mine being one of them. We will see if I actually get a production number etc. I am hopeful. Worst case I wait to order a 2020 at the same pricing which isn't horrible."
That's my order. I was dubious about it but the dealership has a second order that has been in the system longer and BMWUSA has not spit the order back out. Here is the portion of the email from the Sales Manger at my dealership (his family are also the original owners of the dealership):

We only have two X5 to order with 3rd row and BMW is at capacity so they will not be giving any more out to other dealers, the other order has been filled.

Our BMW rep was here today as well and let us know that they will have restricted capacity on the 2020 models as well.
