Anyone know how often they leave port from Germany? I just found out that my car is assembled and is awaiting transport...

Mine was at the port awaiting transport for 11 long days. Some got lucky and waited 1-3 days. I have no clue how often they leave but there are many things that can happen on the trip across the pond. Numerous stops, slower boat, or rough waters can influence how long it will take. I was late getting on but my ship but had less stop and smooth sailing. If I can remember correctly it only took it like 10 days to cross the Atlantic and that is super quick. From start of build to arrival in my hands took about 28 days for me. Enjoy the wait! lol

Your CA should be able to tell you. I did an ED and the ED office could also look it up in their system. So I think you may be able to contact BMW NA and get the information. Once you have this then there are a couple of options to track its departure/arrival in port.
