So if you find yourself with a car in Munich, it’s worth the extra effort. Personally, for me, I think the Nuremburg is a better excursion and you can easily do it via train.

Munich/Salzburg- Exactly what you think it is: Picturesq with great beer. Salzburg is so close that it would be a shame to skip it. Salzburg looks like what most Americans think that European cities look like. Excellent scenery and a very walkable city.
