Sure you can swap and code it back to the way it was. Logs could contain "display disconnected and reconnected" events if you don't disconnect the battery beforehand. If you want to be sure, you can read the logs via Ista/p software.
PS: It all depends on the dealer - you're using an original BMW screen in your car, even the car & head unit both support it, but BMW doesn't sell that specific config (no nav with large screen). Some dealers don't have a problem with that, others do. I heard that in the US, you should still have warranty coverage on all other parts that you haven't fiddled with.
