This will be the third DB605-powered Bf-109 currently flying in Germany, joining the Bf-109G-6 D-FMGS and Bf-109G-14 D-FMGV, both owned/operated by Hangar10. Here in the US, Jerry Yagen/Military Aviation Museum has the flying DB605-powered Bf-109G N109GY.
With regard to the German-based Bf-109E WkNr.1983, the latest information I've seen was from early 2019, with the DB601 engine/prop removed and undergoing further tuning/testing mounted on a trailer at Manching, in the hangar of the Messerschmitt Foundation.
The Messerschmitt Foundation's DB605-powered Bf-109G-10 D-FDME shouldn't be far from flying again either. As of early 2019 the cockpit and some internal systems were being redone. Also as of early 2019, the Messerschmitt Foundation's Bf-109G-4 "Red 7" D-FWME was in the midst of a major ground-up restoration (again), with a fresh, bare-bone fuselage from Hartmair Leichtbau that could be seen in the Messerschmitt Foundation's hangar.
The Rare Bird Aviation website has had mention of two Bf-109 projects they're currently involved with, one which is said to be completed in 2020 (which I've assumed has been FMBB/D-FMBD, but could very well be wrong).

In Belgium, the Vormezeele family's Buchon has been receiving attention at FAST Aero, and I had read a few months ago that the Planes of Fame Buchon wasn't far from flying either, having had work completed on its Merlin engine. I haven't heard anything recently about the Buchon G-HISP at Air Leasing, whether it is currently an active project or not. From someone intimately familiar with Air Leasing, the aircraft is/was going to be finished in an original Spanish AF scheme.
