Do you have a production order number yet? I'm not sure if allocations work the same in .au as they do in the states, but did they tell you that they had to wait for an allocation or any details about when production would commence?
It certainly makes sense that 3ers destined for .au would be built in SA in terms of shipping cost.
I have noticed that the SA facility generates significantly more production delay than the German facilities, at least for the 335 orders from the states that tend to end up there. Perhaps there's just a longer queue, but if your vehicle has not yet started production it doesn't matter where it's built; it's going to be a 2014.
