Unfortunately that is not how it has been working. BMW can only get a limited number of units from B&W, they sell every one that they can get. When there has been "extra" they offered them to 40i and 45e builds. As supply increases/normalizes then they will be offered as a regular option on the 40i and 45e. Like other options, they will first offer it in smaller markets where demand can be met rather than in the US where they would have to constantly issue production constraints when there is a shortage of supply.
