The Olympian Highway left Charleston June 5th. And I can find Wallenius ships that left June 3rd and 16th. The ship from the 16th arrives July 6th in Bremerhaven.
These ships will change their itineraries on the fly. That is what happened on my 528i, it went to my delivery port first instead of last. Which resulted in me getting the vehicle a few days earlier than planned.

A found another ship Don Pasquale. Left Charleston June 10th and arrived in Bremerhaven at June 24th. It's a Wallenius ship but doesn't show up in the schedule and it didn't show up in the tracking. Wallenius tracking isn't working anymore since a few days.
I found it checking fleetmon, searching for all vehicle carriers that left Charleston first half of June

That ship also didn't go to Zeebrugge after Bremerhaven.

How long can a car sit in Bremerhaven before being transported to the dealer?

To my knowledge cars don't go from Bremerhaven directly to Belgian dealers, to need to go via Zeebrugge (by boat) or Genk (truck or train) so customs can import the car and provide the papers to get it registered.

If it was on that ship it's already sitting a week at Bremerhaven, that seems long. If it has to go to Zeebrugge and then to the dealer we are serveral weeks further.
Hopefully it leaves Bremerhaven soon.

My car is in transport from Bremerhaven to Zeebrugge now. The dealer will ask for a direct transport from Zeebrugge to the dealer. I think delivery will be the week of June 20th.

I'm not commenting until you actually get the car.

I don't know. I presume 182 released to carrier. I was in status 165 since the week of June 11th. That means it's on the boat.
Normally your dealer must see the status. If it's still 165 my guess is that the car is still on a boat.

Floating around when it fell from the deck

Don't know if it comes by boat now? Maybe by truck is also possible?

By truck also isn't safe. Years ago a new BMW was delivered to my dealer and the truck was in a deadly accident on the A12. Some cars on the truck were damaged. My car didn't have any damage on sight but I refused the car because of the heavy impact it went through.

My car is for the moment in Zeebrugge. The dealer has no clue when it will arrive. Probably it will go to a depot in Genk first. This is not in their hands but they hope the car will arrive soon
Hopefully I wil get the papers somewhere next week so I can get the car somewhere last week of July.

Good luck! The end is near.

So annoying the "it's not in our hands" excuse. You want to hear we are going to do everything we possibly can to get it here ASAP.

Mine was stuck is Zeebrugge for 3 weeks 🤔.

Let us know when you get it !!

I hope it's not stuck for 3 weeks in Zeebrugge because the planning is to go with that car on holiday August 3rd
I did mention that again clearly to the dealer. He was going to try to fix a delivery from Zeebrugge to him. I hope they will let me know today or tomorrow if that is possible.

Guys, can you help?
My G06 was manufactured June 20th, I have a VIN and decoded it, all matched my spec and good. Originally the dealer said it would would arrive in Kent, UK on 10th August.
Ive used the genius chat line twice and the first time they said at the dealer 17th August and the 2nd time at the dealer 24th August - this in just the space of 3 days.
The only code they give me is 9000 / left plant.

I did a search of X5's heading to Southampton, those "received at terminal" look to be on their way. One showed ETA 7-24-2020.
