The museum and the "BMW-Welt" is not an issue (although there may be more tourists during the Oktoberfest).
But If you like to visit the factory Munich, try to book a visit as early as possible!!

A guided tour in the BMW Welt is not necessary, all very self explaining.
Rather spend more time in the BMW Museum (although it is not very large and sometimes polishes the glory of the brand a little TOO much).
At the BMW-Welt there is also a service, where you can rent certain BMW models, even for an hour (but keep in mind, you are in the city and it takes some time to reach nice little country roads.)

But watch it, you will find also much more cyclists on country roads. So a small sized BMW is actually the better choice here.
