Guardiola's side improved after half-time and went close through substitutes Yaya Toure, Bersant Celina and Wilfried Bony, but managed just one shot on target over the 90 minutes.
For City, attention now turns to the International Champions Cup and a pre-season meeting with Jose Mourinho's Manchester United on Monday, while Bayern take on SpVgg Landshut on Saturday.
A youthful City side showed their inexperience early on when Franck Ribery was allowed to break free and tee up Bernat, but his low cross failed to pick out Julian Green.
The hosts continued to control proceedings and only an inspired first-half display by Caballero prevented Bayern from running riot.
The City goalkeeper made three instinctive stops, first denying David Alaba after a fine exchange involving Ribery, before then twice saving from Green when the USA international looked well placed to score.

The visitors looked more dangerous after the interval and almost went ahead when Bony headed Angelino's cross just wide at the near post.

Tosin Adarabioyo's clearance hit the referee and fell to Ozturk, whose shot took a wicked deflection off Gael Clichy and wrong-footed substitute goalkeeper Angus Gunn, who had replaced Caballero at half-time.
Toure went close from a free-kick as City responded well to going behind, but Guardiola's side struggled to break down Bayern's defence.
Their final opportunity fell to Celina after bright work by Bony, but the young winger hesitated in the box, allowing Bayern to scramble back and clear his deflected effort.
