During the dark days of my order process I spoke to VW exec at least once a week about the hold up. They offered so many different reasons for what was the problem. Rear cam, sun roof, lack of engines, DSG, shut down, hail storm, shut down again, etc etc etc
What I learnt from this experience is that it is none of the above. The reason for the delay is VWUK promised something they a) couldn't deliver on and b) had no control over anyway. So essentially rather than admit that there are big delays because they started taking orders for the car before the factory was ready to make them they are just going to continue promising to deliver and hope that they can fob people off with excuses long enough that the problem goes away.
The more interesting question is why is it that later orders get processed before earlier ones. In my 'cancellation' conversation with VW where they were ass-holes and basically said "why are you cancelling" I just gave them a long LONG list of all their dumb problems and all the lies they had told me as excuses. One of these I said was why are people ordering later and taking delivery sooner? The person I was speaking to either lacked a brain or more likely was playing the conversation politically (not knowing if I was recording it and forwarding to a national newspaper for example) so she said (stupidly) that she "could not discuss other people's orders" with me and that it was "inappropriate for me to ask questions she could not answer". To which I pointed out that the problem wasn't that she couldn't answer, but rather the problem was they had f**ked up so bad it reached the stage where I had to ask. She had no answer for this and I received my deposit back a few days later.
They monumentally screwed up something very simple and they won't admit it.
TL;DR
There is nothing wrong with your options, the reason is simple: VWUK are incompetent. I know its hard to believe any company can be that bad, there must be some contributing factors outside their control right? Nope. Pure incompetence.

EDIT:
Forgot the original question, when will your BW36 car actually be built/delivered? Answer: f**k knows. VWUK certainly don't. There is no logic to it. Sorry.
