Yes, you can swap out the DSC control module without disconnecting brake lines. I recently did this with my 2008 335i. You have to carefully lift the assembly out of the car to remove the module but it is possible. 3 or 4 nuts secure the pump to the chassis. Some engine compartment covers need to come out. So, no need to bleed lines. Just be careful to not distort the brake lines as you manipulate the unit up out of the engine bay. May take 2 people to do this, one to hold the unit up, the other to remove the module.
My issue is that I need to code my DSC module to my car. I installed a used unit (my original DSC module went bad) and now I've got all the dash warning lights, because the new (used) DSC module I installed is not matched to my car.
I'm exploring ways to do this myself, without having to resort with going to the dealer. Can anybody recommend an Android or Macintosh software/hardware combo that could do this job?
