But you are correct lots of price, lease and even software, tires, adaptive light discussions are geographically specific. Like the 740M wheels are staggered in Europe and 275 all around in the US.
As I said, hopefully it was due to COVID-19 but without seeing the breakdown of options ordered by each region it is tough to speculate anything either way. It could be the demand for those options are much smaller and they can fulfill the orders. Similar to the reason given that Tartufo was available for the entire MY20 for the X7 but only for the last few months for the X5, the supplier could not keep up with the demand created by the X5.

It really doesn't matter what the real reason is as long as they come back soon.
