Greg.
This is not true.
You can and should bleed brakes on all your bimmers. At least by-annually 
or before every DE.
You will not be able to replace the brake fluid trapped in the ABS system 
without the dealer's $20K MODIC, but that's a problem common to all ABS 
cars. AST or not.

The easiest way to bleed the brakes is with a power bleeder pushing the 
fluid in via the reservoir. Pumping the brake pedal on top of that is a 
nice touch, but that requires a semi-competent helper.

Yes.
As described above.
