I suggest you drive it first, then decide if you want to chip it. If you do, I plan on the ESS chip. It seems to be the most well regarded tuner.

Yah, I'm pretty sure there is another in Israel too. My company does a lot of business with IAI so I noticed with the country when someone else posted.

There are multiple vendors doing performance software for the 1M. I'm pretty sure we have different software here in the states than the 'word cars' though. So you're probably better off getting advice from someone in Europe or someplace like Dubai. The Dubai/ Abu Dhabi guys seem to have lots of funds to play around with this type of stuff.

Yup, it's forum member urban_alchemist. He picked it up last August.

IIRC it's the only 1M around in Israel - a delivery upon special request.

"I had to do a lot of nagging and convincing at BMW - I started six months before the official announcement - but finally they managed to secure a single car for Israel, and it should be arriving in port in less than 48 hours!"

Welcome and congrats. BTW, which color did you order? If it's white (AW) or black (BSM), you'll be unique in Israel.

Also I thought I read Cobb tunes were only available for US market cars as the world cars have different software loaded into the ecu from BMW.

I think it has something to do with fuels in different part of the country as well. Well that is what they told me when I asked if I could use COBB with my car.

Warning

OP sorry for the thread jacking, yet too interesting to pass up:

The US ED car data (=EU COC equivalency sheet) that is handed out by BMW, suggested by means of the co2/km and Euro5 value that the EU and US cars might have equal engine tune. What is the basis for saying it is different if you don't mind me asking?
