The mechanic (F1 Motorsports) who has had extensive experience changing out the e46 rear sway bar was unable to install the sway bar on my e90. He wasn't willing to accept the liability of risking damage to brake lines by lowering the chassis subframe.

In answer to your question, you can probably do it, but understand that the safest way to tackle this involves removing your exhaust and brake lines first, but this would be a headache, and very time consuming. The other mechanic, Dan at International Dream Cars, left those in place, but he carefully lowered the subframe with a separate jack he kept in place to avoid damage to the components below.
