Looks like you're one of few that will find the 155mph electronic limit on Z unacceptable.

Last time I was in Germany, I was being driven from Heidelberg to Frankfurt to catch a plane. The driver was complaining about the BMW 5-Series ("Diss karr ist NOT up to Heidelberg standards!!!") all while driving at some insane speed.....the car felt planted, I could not understand his angst.

Lol...sounds familiar. Taxi drivers are crazy around here...Germany...land of the Lazy Polizei. Unlike in America...you can speed past the police as long as your not swerving or being stupid(with the exception of going fast...lol). Germany relies on Speed camera's to catch speeders

From what I remember thats ONLY in posted zones which are close to the cities otherwise the autobahn has no posted limit.

This is true...HOWEVER,...and this is where they get you, the recommended speed is 130 kmh in the no speed zones, so if they determine that your going faster then that and you wreck or someone veers into you...you still get in trouble...even if the other person caused the accident. So while there are the no speed zones, they still have a recommended limit, not to mention your lucky to have a nice long stretch with unlimited speed. They like to do the BS of Unlimited...down to some slow *** speed then unlimited then slower speed...so on and so forth...kinda annoying.
