Garmish Partenkirchen is a must for you then.

Near Munich you should consider Daytrips to Salzburg, Herren Chiemsee, Mittenwald, Linderhof, Oberammergau, Fussen (Schwangau), Dachau and Rothenburg. Save time for Munich though. Depending on your interests you can pick from the Deutches Museum, three large art museums, beer halls, Nymphenberg Palace, Englisher Garten plus concerts and sporting events. Have a great time.

Near Munich you should consider Daytrips to ... Rothenburg.

Rothenburg is not "near Munich". It's a 3 hours trip one way.
For the Nurenberg trip I would rather use the train than spending 4 strssing hours on a overcrowed autobahn. There are some medium-fast trains that are usable with the Bayern-Ticket (Nürnberg-München Express); the price is 40 E. for five, both ways, travel time 1:47.

Are you absolutely CERTAIN that you need a car? Where is your Munich hotel. All of the sites you are interested in IN Munich can easily be reached by public tranport. Some of the others may be easier, in the long run and cheaper, to reach by rail. Not all of them, but many.

Have you figured in the costs of parking, etc.?

If you have that is fine as a car is not totally unmanageable in that city.

Neuschwanstein castle can be done with Oberammergau or Linderhof on the same day and yes the train and bus are possible for everything. Maybe just rent for a couple of days. You won't need a car for Nuremberg/Bamberg. glad you are doing the BMW tour, book it ahead of time.

For a company like yours, visiting Munich’s beer gardens is a must! They offer a great variety of amazing German food there, let alone the famous Bavarian beer.. Hofbräuhaus is probably the largest beer hall in the world! It must be an unforgettable Bavarian experience for sure!
Visit a lovely English Garden, do some food shopping at Viktualienmarkt, too.
