Jeff Koons Decorates a Limited-Edition Minature BMW M3 GT2 Art Car

MKE_M3 · 05-06-2012, 02:27 PM

someone should make a vynal wrap based on the art car. That'd be sooo sick!

MTROIS · 05-06-2012, 09:50 PM

Looks likes got screwed on eBay by a user named 35-55mm!!

Long story short, I had bought a car but the guy said it had not arrived yet...we exchanged a few emails back and forth and he eventually told me that the car would arrive in April... As I had read here.

But since April16, no more news!

His PayPal name was Adrian Fujimoto and he is supposed to be located in NYC or Brooklyn somewhere but I am sure it was a fake.... Beware guys!!

There are always crooks around.... Damn them!

Jerkoffs like that guy make people cautious about buying anything on eBay.

Just got an email from Tischer that my Koons car was shipped today! Can't wait to see the box on my doorstep... Thanks guys!

Lagunae92 · 05-21-2012, 11:59 PM

Got my shipment notification too! Told the wife it was like winning the lottery. She was not amused....I ordered within hours of it being available I believe.

Evan@Tischer · 05-22-2012, 07:47 AM

We received another pallet today! Please bear with us as we work to fill all outstanding orders as quickly as possible.

If your order was already cancelled, please PM me your old order # - we'll do our best to source you one.

Nuge Design · 05-22-2012, 01:22 PM

Evan,

Curious as to why the units have surfaced? Could it be the "limited number of units" number was increased or simply a delay in manufacturing? What was that original total anyway? 500?

Thanks for the notice of shipment BTW... somewhat of a surprise. Took longer to get this than the M3

Order placed 3, February for those curious sorts.

5,000 was the original number of units... I see now...

doc19 · 05-22-2012, 03:21 PM

Got my email today!!! So excited.

smokinjoe64 · 05-22-2012, 07:36 PM

Thx to Jason and Tischer for remaining responsive and patient! It's been a bit frustrating for all those early Feb orders, but that's all forgotten now

...just got #78 this Monday and now the Koons car #79 shipped today, love it when a plan comes together!

330iTiAg · 05-23-2012, 01:15 AM

I also received a confirmation from Tischer about the Jeff Koons car.

FYI:

1) ECS Tuning also has the Jeff Koons car in stock for about $13 less than Tischer.

2) I contacted Minichamps directly to try and track down a #78 GT2 since they are NLA from BMW. I was finally able to get one at carvillemodelsshop.com for $155 (plus shipping). I just received it today. It's in a Minichamps box, not the BMW dealer packaging. Other than the outer box, everything else inside seems to be the same exact model (shown earlier).
