I'm not sure about the M6, but here's the timeline for my 2012 650i:

Start production: 12/22/2011

Factory closed: approx. 12/24/2011-01/04/2012

Ship to port: about 2 days (day 1 being 01/05/2012)

Sat at port: about 6-7 days

In transit (crossing Atlantic) - about 14 days

Arrived at US port (Georgia) - Sat. 01/28/2011

Arrived at dealership (Mobile, AL) - Mon. 01/30/2012 by 9:30 am.

Took delivery - 01/31/2012

This is a rough outline for the timing, but had the factory not shut down, I think it would've been 1 month start to finish. I did the One-on-One program (PCD sans taking delivery) a little over a week after picking up my car. I think they typically have to hold vehicles for a while to fit the PCD schedule, so that can make a pretty big difference independent of production and shipping. I was told I'd have to wait until mid-March if I wanted to do the true PCD.

The production date is the big piece of info you need to get from your CA. If they have that number, then they should have a production slot. They should be able to call and check the PCD schedule to secure a spot for you a week or so after the approximate delivery date.

Not sure if this is helpful, but it's all kinda iffy even after you get a production number, especially when you factor in PCD.
