I can't contribute anything of value concerning your fine Teutonic machinery, 
but as for the Alfa, in my experience they always like long trips and plenty 
of attention the best and it is unlikely anything will go wrong.  Expect a 
great drive.

But to set your mind at ease, you may want to pack a metric tool kit and fuel 
filters.

Buon voyaggio!
