I forgot to take good pics.. but I replaced the driver side window switch today. It broke a couple days ago and it sucked not having a driver side window to roll down. No drive-thrus for the week and had to drive like a granny to conserve gas because I don't think I want to open the door at the border to talk to the guards LOL. At least it broke while it was up.

By far the easiest fix on a BMW, ever. Took me less than 5 mins to do it. Pop off shifter (2 Allen keys - not a standard BMW thing), squeeze the sides of the shift boot, take off shift boot, remove 2 Phillips screws, disconnect 2 plugs, push the clip up and away from the trim piece for driver side window switch, remove and replace.
