So I recently contacted both of my local BMW dealerships to inquire about an available xDrive allocation.

First dealership told me they possibly might have an allocation in a month or so.

The second dealership told me they don't see any allocations in the near future , but there's always a chance that might change.

So instead of waiting around for a couple months for an allocation that may or may not materialize , how can I be more proactive in finding an allocation ?

Am I limited to calling out of state dealerships ?

Would BMW be able to tell me , or refer me to my nearest dealership that has an available allocation.

Looking at nationwide dealership 24 inventory , it looks like they are ordering their inventory m240i's with tons of options . Options that I don't want or need. Hence the need for me to order one with the spec that I want to pay for

keep on calling dealerships to see if they have an allocation, even if they are out of your area. I was lucky and a local-ish (40min drive) had an allocation that I was able to take over (dealer had optioned it their way, but I was able to change it to mine).

BMW won't tell you which dealerships have allocations. I recommend calling or emailing a bunch of them. And yeah, if your local spots don't have allocations, you have to go out of state.

Thank you for your help everyone , i really appreciate it .

I just got a call back from a local dealership after I asked the sales manager if they could trade another dealership for their RWD allocation.

Going there tomorrow to see what they require
