Given the close ties to Austria (e.g. dynastical), there should be a close alliance then. Maybe even a customs-union?
Both sides might be wary. Bavarias economy is better developed, but very much smaller. Austria did not join the German Customs Association for just that reason, protectionism of its underdeveloped economy. Now if its just Bavaria, thats less of a threat, but they still might fear superior Bavarian products entering their market or whatever. And OTOH Bavaria might fear being economically abosrbed.
But like with lots of things here in this thread, Ill just shrug and say its of course always possible
