The biggest disappointment in Germany second only to the inedible food is the autobahn.

I'd often find myself parked behind a basic BMW or Audi for a good 30-seconds at <180 KPH in the unlimited secions, which would only be unlimited for a short time anyway, followed by endless construction zones.

Bummed your experiences didn’t meet expectations. I’m going on three years living in Bavaria (near the A93/A6 interchange) and I’m in a driver’s paradise, even in the dead of winter now.
I think Autobahn experiences certainly will vary depending on where and when you travel. Mostly empty, unrestricted Autobahn are a part of my daily commute. It’s a thing of beauty. Becomes a very different story as you approach the major metro corridors.
