It left Southampton, England yesterday.
I don't know why your MINI would be in the port of Munich, though...unless it's a Countryman it should be in Southampton.
Edit: just noticed you said 13 days from Friday, which would be the 21st. The California Highway left Southampton on Saturday the 9th and arrives in Brunswick, GA on the 20th. My MA was able to confirm yesterday that that's the ship my MINI is on.

13 days from today would be the 25th, which would be the day the AIDA arrives in Brunswick, GA. It's the boat I thought my MINI would be on.
It left Southampton, England yesterday.

Same question I had.
I've thought about emailing him back to ask, but I don't wanna be "one of those" customers
I think I'm going to email him back anyway

Sent my MA an email yesterday asking if he had any shipping details. He called me back and it went something like this:
MA: Hey, your MINI is aboard a ship
Me: Cool. Any idea which one?
MA: Yeah, I have it here somewhere. Just a sec...It's K-something.
Me: K-Line? So it's on the California Highway
MA: Um...yeah. It left the just the other day.
Me: Should have left on the 9th, then.
MA: No. It was Saturday. That was the...um...yeah...9th. You're right. They usually take about two weeks to cross.
Me: The California Highway is scheduled to be in Brusnwick, GA on the 20th. That's where your port is, right?
MA: Yeah, that's the one. The 20th...that's fast. Cool. I should be able to get you more details once it's in port. Um...why don't you send me another email when you see it has arrived.
Me: Thanks for the information.

My MINI is on a K-Line ship and using marinetraffic.com, there hasn't been an update in over three days.
Looking at the history of updates it looks like there is a seven-day hole every time it crosses the Atlantic and then it updates a couple of times/day when it is near a port.
Almost halfway through the dead period for the California Highway.

The site shows the coordinates, then I copy and paste it into Google or Bing maps to show the location on the world map. It looks a lot better them.

Marinetraffic.com uses the AIS system, which does not cover the open seas. If you look at their map and then zoom WAY OUT, you can see their coverage boxes. When your vessel enters one of those boxes you may be able to see it again.

Well...it's the only one that registers anything about the California Highway. So I'll just keep refreshing until it appears again. I'm figuring on Saturday or Sunday (it's due into port in Baltimore on Sunday...)

I think this is right. The largest dot is the latest position.

9VHF is the Madame Butterfly. Apparently she left Southampton a couple days ago....
The Otello has been updating every 6 hours.

I had info from ASK-MINI that my CM arrived at the port and was "handed over" to a shipper for transportation on the 14th. She had No idea what "shipper" or port or ship. It should come into NY (which is really NJ port) and I am in PA, so about 2 more weeks, I guess. "No Record" still pops up on the WW shipping page. I just have to wait it out. 
Boo hoo. well at least is is soon getting on a ship and is on the way.
