Also, my dealer said that sometimes a car will be held at the port until more ships arrive with cars so that the truck can be fully loaded with cars before leaving the port. Maybe that's what the holdup is?

The issue is likely the new V8 in the 650i. This engine hasn't been used on any cars currently on lots/delivered. BMW probably can't release the cars from their custody (i.e. trucks to dealers, the PC, etc.) until the final government approvals are complete.
The X3 wouldn't be affected by this, but it would apply to the new 650i, 550i, and 750i that use the new V8 TT valvetronic engine.
