Bottom line
Munich is handled — Homaris Apartments is booked, and so is the Saturday-night MUC → BER flight (LH1962). That clears the two hardest pieces. The remaining constant: Nürburgring Touristenfahrten on Thursday needs a track-spec rental and a Pistenklause table booked in tandem; both go quietly two months out.
Everything else — Cologne, the Eifel, Stuttgart, museums, Berlin — is forgiving. Treat them as variables. Treat the Ring as the last constant.
