Last time I was there (2012) we were over for 18 days. After France and then Zermatt, we passed over the alps and descended down to Como for a stay. The whole time I was driving that Peugeot/Citroen/Renault (can't remember now) down those passes I was wishing wishing wishing I had my Turbo. My wife and daughter were extremely happy we were in the PeuRenOen.
Enjoy yourself!

I doubt I will get to play much with the car, my driving style and my wife's differ greatly she is not a big fan of speed, especially around corners ... last time we did this I was complaining about all the diesel vans passing us on the autobahn she was driving so slowly (BMW 550i M Sport)

^^^ I think your 550i was the same spec as my wife's ... only driven faster ... at least when she was driving!
believe me if this was a 'boys only' event my itinerary would only involve driving from Stuttgart to the Nuburgring (several laps, bier and steak on a stone) and back again!
