Once your car gets to port, it will update to arrived at the port. Once it’s on a ship, it’ll update to “in transit”.
BMW uses two primary shippers from Germany to the US. They are Wallenius Wilhelmsen and K Line. Both of those sites have posted schedules. Chances are your car will leave from Bremerhaven, Germany. If you know where BMW cars enter the US from, you can make some educated guesses re: which ship it will likely be on and estimated arrival dates.
Once your car is in transit for a day or two, you can call the Genius line and they’ll be able to tell you the precise ship.
When your car arrives at the port, it needs to go through customs. Additionally, if there are any recalls or stop sales on it, those will be resolved at the Vehicle Processing Center prior to being released to a carrier. It took ~5 days for my car to get to the dealer from the port.
