FYI...
After some digging and e-mails back and forth with them, ECS Tuning has the:
The #78 GT2 is listed as a European BMW item. Unlike US BMW dealers, ECS doesn't seem to be bound by the same restrictions on getting non-US parts from its suppliers. So hopefully they'll be able to follow through with these models.

Our frustration is that you called us out for having terrible service on something that isn't really service related. Providing top notch customer service has always been, and will always be our # 1 priority...so we do everything possible to uphold that. Again, we opened this as a 'pre-order' in hopes we'd see stock on that, and to allow our customers first dibbs on trying to get one. We never guaranteed we'd see them, and they were listed as limited availability on our site. Our site also never stated it had them in stock - our site does not indicate stocking status of any parts ordered. Jason and I have to go into each new order and update the actual stocking status of the parts - yours was updated with the 'on order' status w/ the original email confirmation sent. Our shipping dept. then followed through w/ the backorder notification email. We are sorry we can't get those, the last thing we wanted to have to do was cancel the orders. We didnt find out from BMW until long after those orders were placed that our orders from them were all being cancelled and this item flipped to an NLA status. We also don't know if we'll see more of the Jeff Koons cars, even though a new ETA date keeps popping up in our parts locator system (we've been checking almost daily as well). My advice is if they are available from another source - probably should jump on it before it's too late. We haven't charged anyone for those yet, so a simple email to us requesting your order to be cancelled if you decide to make other plans is no problem at all. Thanks for your consideration. Let's put this to bed.

This is really pointless to argue anymore; we learned a long time ago we can't please everyone. We hope your other order for the Koon's car is filled (along with everyone else's), but we really don't know if we'll see more of those - and at this point kind of doubt it as BMW no longer shows any ETAs for the US. If anyone needs or wants to cancel, just let us know. Otherwise we'll hold them open until we get official confirmation they aren't coming. Have a nice day.

No problem. As is customary with this site, the vendor is always right.

I really couldn't care less that Tischer is forum sponsor....
... but I love the pre-order service! What's to complain about? They let you reserve a spot in line and don't charge you unless/until the order can be filled. Can't really think of a better way for them to handle the situation or provide a more useful way to help me try and get one of these.

I will say this, although I'm disappointed with the #78 not being available anymore I contacted both Jason and Evan multiple times via email and almost every time within 30 minutes or less I got a response. That can't be said for other businesses that I've dealt with. It sucks that they're not available in the US, but I do still have the Art Car on order from Tischer and hope that that one comes through.

I have a third Koons car on order in Austria. I'm hopeful that comes through as it will go to a good place: my temporary residence when I go to the 'Ring, nice people, seems like it would be a nice and appropriate gift for them and their two sons.

ECS Tuning just cancelled my white GT2 order. Where in Germany did you order your white GT2's?

Evan or Jason, have you guys seen any of Jeff Koons M3's come in from Germany since the rumored 4/16 arrival date?

As of right this minute, there is no ETA posted, but they are still not listed as NLA - so hope remains.

Too bad BMW screwed the rest of us by dangling a carrot in front of our faces and then quickly yanked it away! I'd be curious to know why this happened and whether the problem was with BMW or Minichamps.
