I don't know about Munich or other German cities, but what kills me about driving in European cities is the placement of the traffic signals; low and on the corner.? It took me the longest to adapt to that.

Yes, that's another thing to watch out for in Europe (including Germany). Unlike in the US the traffic signals in Europe are on the "near side" of the intersection instead of the "far side" (accross the street). So sometimes when you stop at the intersection for a red light you can't actually see the lights anymore because it is right next to your car and beeing blocked by the roof of your car. But you get used to it pretty quickly.

One thing I have not done yet is drive on the left side of the street (UK). I don't know if I would want to "get used to it" in my brand new BMW on my next ED. I would probably rent a car just in case.
