Turnaround time from port to dealer...
So my car is on the Porgy which just left Halifax and is due in NJ port @05:00 10/25...Is it unrealistic to expect my dealer(JMK) in NJ to be able to meet the saturday 10/27 delivery date promised to me? I've been reading the horror stories with cars that were held at the port for a month on the initial US deliveries...this is a european redilivery car...Is it possible to clear customs in just a day??

Highly unlikely. My car arrived 9/26 and cleared customs on 10/1 - 3 business days. At that point it was logged into the VPC and the prep work was done. Delivered to my dealer 10/4 and I picked up Friday 10/5. So for me it was 9 days from port to delivery and both the rep at the VPC and my CA said it was the quickest they've ever seen an ED car make it through the whole process. I'd say chrisratz has it right expecting 11/3 delivery.

Yes I think Christratz is correct too.
Plus I made a call to BMW and told them to put a hold on all ED Re-Deliveries until I get mine, since I have been waiting 7 weeks already to get mine re-delivered, and I still dont have it. Oye-Ve!!

Arrived 10/15 port, cleared customs 10/18 and arrive at VPC, still waiting on work to be done on oil pump. Many many calls and still not completed. It was scheduled to be delivered to dealer today, ugh not going to happen. So far, 9 days and no oil pump while its getting a sun tan and bird shi$$ all day.

FYI - if it's at the VPC in NJ, it's indoors. They have a large warehouse for cars awaiting processing (or so I've been told, never been there myself).

They actually told me that info was wrong. That what I was looking at was the anticipated date of arrival not actual.
I said activate the f'ing BMW Assist on my car and tell me where it is. They cant see past their delayed info screen. Dont really care to entertain anything else either.

There's a local (Morris County) car group that meets every 2 weeks, lots of cool cars from foreign exotics to American muscle. The next one is on November 4th if you're up for a drive down 287. Would love to see the cobra if the weather permits the drive!

Hope you have better luck than me.......mine arrived port Brunswick 10/15 and shows VDC accepted 10/18. Since then, complete radio silence. Dozens of calls/e-mails into dealer, BMW ED, my 'special' BMW rep etc. No news, no commitments, no estimates, nothing. Good luck. I hope you break the trend.
