I can't speak on Audi or VW, but I did visit the Mercedes Museum in 
2000.  I was in the Stuttgart area on buiness and had time for one 
Museum.  My preference had been Porsche.  All the locals independantly 
recommended the Mercedes Museum.   Mercedes have never really interested 
me like Audi, but I think the Mueseum was excellent.

First you have to pick up a bus.  The bus takes you into the 
"compound".  Amazingly I did see a BMW inside the gates.  They have the 
recorded self guided tours that seem to be popular over there in 
whatever language you choose.  Then you start your tour in chronological 
order.  Every car has technical information as well as some background 
on its development.  I don't know how many cars there were, but it 
seemed like 50 to 80 including lots of old race cars.  It was very neat 
to go from a wooden frame motorized carriage at the begining to an F1 
car at the end.  Of course they also have a show room with all the 
latest cars they would love you to take home.  On top of all that it is 
free.

I asked google for more details.  Here is the site:

Whatever you decide enjoy your visit!
