That used to be the system (as I was able to get one of my E92 M3s this way back in 2013 via a car my dealer had already in build but before spec lock-down) but as I understand it it's become more of a free-for all now i.e. BMW have X spaces available in a given year and it's pot luck if your dealer can get a build. I get very well looked after by my dealer given the spend I send them and they raised this as a potential issue back in Jan when I ordered just in case it went tits.
