Ahead of Saturday’s trip to historic rivals Borussia Moenchengladbach, Bayern are five points clear of second-placed RB Leipzig.
The defending Bundesliga champions have won 12 from 12 in all competitions. They are the only team in Europe’s top five leagues yet to drop a point.
Central to Bayern’s barnstorming opening has been England captain Kane.
The 32-year-old has 20 goals in those 12 Bayern victories. He has chalked up 12 goals and three assists in seven Bundesliga games.
But Kane’s contribution this season has gone far beyond getting his name on the scoresheet.
Nowhere has Kane’s all-round contribution been clearer than in last Saturday’s 2-1 home win over Borussia Dortmund.
Named in the No 10 role behind striker Nicolas Jackson, Kane was everywhere, dropping back to defend and pinging passes from deep to Bayern’s lightning-quick wingers Michael Olise and Luis Diaz.
But the additional creative burden clearly did not blunt Kane’s effectiveness in front of goal.
On Saturday, Kane produced a textbook centre-forward’s finish to open the scoring for Bayern, leaping high to head in a corner with 21 minutes gone.
Tipped by some to return to England, Kane, however, indicated he was likely to stick around longer in Germany, particularly after coach Vincent Kompany extended his deal until 2029 this week.
“Conversations will be had,” Kane said after Bayern beat Club Brugge 4-0 on Wednesday in the Champions League.
“Not next month, but maybe in the new year. We’re in a great position. I feel good.
“Kompany is a big part of the club and a key part of why I enjoy being here so much. The extension is great news.”
Worryingly for Bayern’s rivals, they look set to get better.
On Thursday, Jamal Musiala trained for the first time since breaking his ankle at the Club World Cup in July.
Initially expected back in 2026, sporting director Max Eberl said Musiala could return before Christmas.
The 22-year-old creative midfielder told reporters: “It was great to be back on the pitch. It felt great. My foot felt good.”
Bayern’s incredible form means there is no need to rush Musiala back. Likewise with Alphonso Davies, who is working his way back from an ACL tear.
“It’s always just step by step, you don’t want to do anything too quickly,” Musiala said.
“When I come back, I want to be at 100% and at a good level. That’s why we’re taking our time.”
Elsewhere on matchday eight, second-placed RB Leipzig travel to mid-table Augsburg, while Dortmund take on the impressive Cologne.
