He finished 26th in the No. 23 Team Racing at Indianapolis Raceway Park and finished 25th in the No. 07 Green Light Racing at Martinsville Speedway.[2]
Having failed to find sponsorship for NASCAR or IndyCar campaigns, Müller returned to Europe in 2004. He was due to race for Taurus Sports at the opening round of the inaugural Le Mans Series season, but the car did not start the race. He did race in the 2004 Spa 24 Hours for JMB Racing with Karl Wendlinger, Bert Longin and Pierre-Yves Corthals. The team finished the race in 16th place.
Müller returned to Formula Three in 2005, racing for his old team Ghinzani in the Italian Formula Three Championship. He finished as runner-up to Luigi Ferrara, nine points behind, having had twenty points taken away for a technical irregularity.
After sitting out the 2006 season, Müller once again raced in the Spa 24 Hours, this time for Scuderia Playteam Sarafree, finishing 18th in a Maserati MC12.
For 2008, Müller raced full-time in the FIA GT Championship for Jetalliance Racing in their second Aston Martin DBR9, alongside owner Lukas Lichtner-Hoyer. Müller set pole position for the second race of the season at Monza, but the car did not finish the race. The car did finish second at Oschersleben behind its sister car driven by Ryan Sharp and Karl Wendlinger.
Müller was signed by the Vitaphone Racing Team for the 2009 season, to race its second Maserati MC12, as teammate to Miguel Ramos. The pair finished eighth in the standings, after scoring three pole positions. They helped Vitaphone to win the teams championship. Müller also finished third in the GT1 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jetalliance, having set class pole position.
