Region/Country (chars 1-2): "WB" - Europe, Germany
Plant (char 11): "F" - Munich
Now that I think about it, it was probably one of the first F30s in the country. It was complianced in Feb 12 around the time of the initial launch. So, maybe the first batch to Aus came out of Germany?

Yea that's probably right cos the SA plant didn't come online for the F30 build til later. So the initial F30s that dealers had were of German build. Have a look on carsales at the moment. There's quite a few dealer stocked F30 that have VINs originating from Germany
