These are good news :-)

I'm not driving like crazy. Especially when I'm abroad on roads and rules that I don't know enough. Especially not with a 458

And when they stop you like that... you have to pay on the spot(!) usually in cash - although more polizei now a days do take credit cards.

These are really bad news
I don't mind to pay for the ticket but have no idea what will they do if they'll catch me for 70 KPH over the limit (This can happen easily).

Thanks for the tip

Hopefully I'll end this trip safe (police wise I mean).

Also... Bernhard's opens mostly for the evenings I think. At least that's always when I have visited them.

I'm not planing to eat there every day . Just once and for once it does not count as expensive for what I'm used to here.
As for opening hours, it'll be great if you'll help me find the opening hours. I have found the following link which states that it is indeed opening in the evening but also during noon from 12:00 to 14:00 which might be a problematic time window for me. I still need to figure out which direction should I take in my first day's trip. Anyhow I'll use the Kufstein restaurant as a backup

IF the service was really exceptional... round up a few more euros. But not ten to twenty percent, like in the USA.

Is that an order or a suggestion Now seriously, I actually like to tip and here it's very common but if you'll tell me that I'm "breaking the ethical rules of German tiping", I'll consider and leave as you suggested.

One more very important question if I may, how's the duty-free shop at Munich Airport? I'm looking for 1 liter bottles of whisky. Do you know if they're available? At my country they stopped selling them. Only 700ml.
