edit: found it. The first three characters tell you where it was manufactured:

4US – BMW NA MFG
NCO – BMW South Africa
WBA – BMW AG
WBS – Motorsport

11 character tells you what plant (assembly?)
A, F, K – Munich, Germany
C, B, D, G – Dingolfing, Germany
E, J, P – Regensburg, Germany
L, M – Spartanburg, U.S.A
N – Roslyn, South Africa
W – Graz, Austria
V – Leipzig, Germany

Interesting my VIN number does start with WBA, but it also says final assembly plant as "Rosslyn, South Africa". It does also say "Major source of Foreign parts Content: Germany 60%.
I think they are all made in Germany but assembled in the appropriate plant. Whats your 11th character?
