I've been here in Haifa Israel for 3 weeks now working. So far I have seen tons of benz here, but I haven't seen but a few bmw's. They use the baby benz for taxi use. The best beamer so far was a 2010 m3. The other was a '11 760. I thought we drove fast in Houston, but damn near everyone here has a death wish. Dont cross the street without tripple checking 360*. Other than that, 5 to one ratio on the ladies gents. Oh yea the eye candy is out in full force. Wish I had pics for you guys, but I've been too busy looking myself.

Yeah, one would think there would be more. I remember seeing a picture several years ago where a car bomb exploded and it was an X5. It sure seemed to hold up well and the occupants actually survived.

I could think of at least one reason Israelis may hold some resentment towards German products.

I don't know if you knew but Mercedes is a German product and they have tons of mercs here as they are used for taxis. Here in Haifa, they also have german town which is a section where of course, germans live. They have a jewish side, arab side and christian side. German Town has some great food there. Lots of history here. Sorry guys, haven't been able to take pics, but when possible, will do.
