I bet most dealers - after maybe the initial couple months where they might have a whopping 3 or 4, will quickly drop to stocking one or zero.

And the ones they do stock will be $45k 228i cars with no M sport and no xenons, and virtually nothing you can see on the car that could conceivably make it a $45k car. Kind of like all the $40k+ 320i cars around here that have no Msport or xenons yet still manage to blow past $40k.

Seriously, there aren't going to be 20-30 of these at every dealer at all times, the vast majority of the public wants a big fat sedan, not a small coupe; as such, dealers aren't going to be stocking them even if they have allocations for them, most will be special ordered.
Well, you can always go on cars.com and find much (perhaps most) of the national dealer inventory. It may not be close or convenient, but some dealer somewhere will likely have one optioned to your satisfaction. If not, then order what your want or do Euro delivery.
