Should be pretty easy. Though, sometimes immigration could take longer depending upon arrival timings. But you should be able to make it in Munich. Sometimes, the Austrian Arrows flights depart from a remote bus gate, in which case, i guess they'll know to wait for connecting passengers.

I wouldn't have said the same thing about FRA, where u have to trek a few KMs from US arrivals to intra-european flights.
