Changing planes in Munich

I will be traveling from Newark on United Airlines to Munich and changing planes and airlines (Lufthansa) for a flight to Naples. Two hours between flights. I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with the Munich airport and the logistics of transferring. Thanks!

Only one experience. Flew though Munich last summer homebound, from Krakow via Augsberg, switching to Lufthansa for the long haul to the US. Tight transfer, I think it was an hour. Bused from the small plane to the main terminal where we simply walked through to the line at our gate. They even kept us sterile, so no security check. But this was Schengen to Schengen, so coming through from the US may be different, security-wise.
See Munich Airport online, there is an excellent video regarding their ability to do tight transfers.

Can be a tight transfer. If you have to go through immigration/passport control the lines can be very long.
