It usually takes between 3 and 6 months for your buttocks to soften, have normal sensation and feel normal again.  Every patient is different as is every surgeon.  The more fat is placed into your buttocks, typically the more swelling and firmness you get.

How long after the BBL do the buttocks feel soft with normall sensation?

As with any operation it  takes time for the buttocks to feel "normal". In my experience with hundreds of BBLs most patients feel their buttocks soft and have good sensation between 6-12 weeks after the surgery. There are obviously individual differences but this period seems to fit the pattern of most patients.
