I think there are a couple of forces in play here that are delaying ordering ability in the USA.

First, Europe is the home market for BMW and so the Europeans naturally get everything first, even though the USA is (I think) their most profitable single market.

Second, generally speaking it takes some time for the suits at BMW USA to figure out exactly how to limit our F48 X1 buying choices (e.g., no diesel engine options which are available in Europe). Once BMW USA has decreed how our options will be limited, then we'll see the USA ordering guide.
