Begin March, before the covid shit hits the fan, I asked my dealer how long it would take to get a 45e delivered if I would order at that time. Answer: November, December.
I think we have another perception of time in Europe

Same on my side. Ordered mid-December last year and delayed until end September... Great for our fellow Americans if they can have their cars faster. Just disappointed by BMW disrespect of their EU customers.
In the meantime, I have watched all the tests twice on youtube

In Canada, you can order B&W, soft closing, cooled/heated cupholders, ambient air and display key. The only one not available is acoustic glass - but this is not offered in any X5 models in Canada.

Strangely the optional trailer hitch offered looks like the one in Europe and mentioned in another post about the parts available in US. It is a hitch ball without the 2" square hitch receiver. This would exclude a lot of the hitch accessories available in north america, including my bike racks.

Then it's not due to supplier constraints. If they are offering the B&W package on the 2021 X5 45e in Canada, then BMW USA is just going crazy. Funny cause they make them here!!

It probably is due to supply issues. The demand in the US for various options is likely higher than other areas so it can't be fulfilled with the current situation. That would be similar to how Tartufo was available all MY for the X7 but only the last few months for the X5. The supplier would not have been able to keep up with the demand.

Edit: I could have missed it but the 21MY ordering guide for Canada hasn't been released yet so we don't know what options will be available.

I was able to configure the 21MY X5 on bmw.ca and select the 45e engine options.They also can select the BMW display key, soft closing doors and ambient air package. They even get the gray 744 wheels.
