Unless you got a Smart or similarly small car, I'd suggest not to try
parking in the city center.

The Altstadt (old city center) basically is a short-parking zone only.
The so called "blue parking zones" are rather expensive, from Monday
to Saturday, from 08:00 to 19:00 (8 am to 7pm) you pay 0,50€ per 12
minutes (or 2,50€/hour), from 19:00 to 23:00 (7pm to 11pm) the fee is
0,20€ per 12 minutes (or 2€/hour) with a maximum allowed time of two
hours.
On Sundays and between 23:00 and 8:00 parking is free and not limited
to two hours.

So forget to park east of Sonnenstraße (Sonnenstraße marks the western
limit of Altstadt)
Same info as above from official homepage (german)

So as parking in the city center is expensive, people try to park
outside, thus I wouldn't expect much free lots west of Sonnenstraße
either. (at least not when you'r the one looking for one, as always
:-)) Furthemore there are many one-way streets in this area, making it
a little harder to find your way around.

So my recommendation is to park a little outside, and use
park-and-ride (aka the big parking lots at various important public
transport stations) and use the public transportation (which is
relatively expensive, 2,50€ for a one-way ticket (2,40€ if you pay
with the chip on your ATM card or when you got a "Streifenkarte" (12€
for 5 one-way trips)[1] - parking is between 1€ and 1,50€ per day[2])
so the 6,50€ for MVV (Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifsverbund) are still
cheaper than a parking garage (as that would probably one be good for
3 or 4 hours).
And the 15-20 minutes commute via MVV probably is equivalent or less
compared to driving around looking for a parking lot:-))

For small groups, (i.e. two to five adults), the "Partner-Tageskarte"
would be better option than individual tickes, for 9,80€ up to 5
adults can do as many trips as they want (until 6am of the next day) -
a three-day ticket is also available for 22,80€
(a one-person ticket is 5,40€ for one day, or 13,30€ for three days)

[1] if you're under 21 years old, then you pay half the price with a
Streifenkarte, i.e. for 12€ you can do 10 one-way trips, but this is
only possible with Streifenkarte, not with single tickets)
[2] when using the park-and-ride parking lots, but of course when you
start your trip outside of the city center you can also find free
parking lots along the streets
