After weighing up his options Kane agreed to the move and was set to fly out to Munich on Friday morning, only for Tottenham to refuse permission as they wanted to renegotiate finer details of the deal.
Those issues were ironed out and the striker set off for his new home on Friday afternoon.
He leaves Spurs as the club's record goalscorer with 280 goals in 435 appearances.
Kane, 30, netted 213 Premier League goals which leaves him 47 shy of Alan Shearer's record of 260.

He had just one year left on his Tottenham contract and had rejected a £400,000-a-week extension earlier this summer.
Speaking about the striker's departure, Spurs chairman Levy said: "We sought over a long period of time to engage Harry and his representatives in several forms of contract extension, both short and long term.
"Harry was clear, however, that he wanted a fresh challenge and would not be signing a new contract this summer. We have reluctantly, therefore, agreed to his transfer.
"We have seen a product of our Academy system become one of the best players to ever pull on a Spurs shirt and become one of world football’s elite strikers. It has been a truly remarkable journey."
He added: "I should like to thank Harry for everything he's done for us, all the memories, all the records - we wish him and his family all the best for the future.
"It goes without saying, he's always welcome back. He’s a much loved and valued member of the Spurs family, forever in our history."

Kane bid an emotional farewell to Tottenham fans on Saturday morning.
In a video on Instagram, he said: "Hi everyone. I wanted to be the first to tell you Tottenham fans that I'll be leaving the club today.
"Obviously [there are] a lot of emotions going through me right now. Sad to be leaving the club I've spent nearly 20 years of my life at.
"From an 11-year-old boy to a 30-year-old man now, there's been so many great moments and special memories. Memories that I'll cherish forever.
"So this is a thank you to all my teammates over the years. My coaches, all the managers, every single staff member to do with the club from the kit man to the chefs, everyone involved.
"Obviously I've built special relationships with a lot of people.
"And most importantly, I want to say thank you to the fans.
"From the moment I've been playing I've been one of your own and I've given everything that I possibly could've just to make you proud and give you as many special moments and memories that will hopefully last forever."
