I have to admit, it is a little depressing to talk to fellow pilots in Munich area.
EDMJ, as you appear to know a bit more on the private pilot genocide culture of the region, a question regarding the former(?) field called Fürstenfeldbruck. Is it true that they closed the airfield officially for noise reasons and now installed a BMW test drive ranch for cars and motorcycles? I heard it as a rumor today and couldn't believe it, especially with the guy on the phone laughing.

Yes, completely true. The NIMBY brigade there is outraged. If BMW is going to offer driving courses there on weekends, then my next car will be a BMW, the loudest one I can get.

I live in Munich and fly out of Augsburg. It takes me about 35 minutes to get to the Airport in Augsburg and frankly though, I consider such a time frame to commute to a GA Airport fairly normal.
Just like any other airspace jurisdiction, there are rules, regulations and constraints that must be adhered to when flying in Bavaria. It is not that bad though and if you give considerable attention to the circumstances, you will really enjoy flying in Bavaria.
You can use public Transportation (which is very reliable) to get to GA Airports in the Munich area, but you would have to use taxi for the last mile.
It is fun flying in the Munich area and the landings fees aren't to heavy. PM me if you need reliable and credible Information.

As to the pattern of EDNX Oberschleissheim:
Just for the record - the funky pattern does NOT take you into Munich CTR. At the recommended height and the defined turns at the NorthEast "corner" you stay outside.
Straying off there - in particular confusing a regional road with a motorway - you may receive an additional "approach fee" for infringement of CTR.
(took my exam there)
