German port used to ship BMWs to U.S.?

Does anyone know from what port in Germany BMW ships its cars to the U.S.? My guesses are as follows: Emden, Bremerhaven, maybe Hamburg. My M2 is scheduled to arrive in Sarasota, FL in approximately 25 days and I'd like to be able to track the ship. Thanks

Someone else can probably answer this more definitively, but Bremerhaven is the Port of Exit for all the German-made BMWs I know of.

That's correct

Your SA will be able to tell you the exact name of the ship then you can track it (regardless of the port of exit).

You can also enter your vin on the carrier's website to figure it out.
