Replace BMW 2014 328i Driver Window Switch
My BMW 2014 328i Window switch had a broken mirror control. After considering paying up to $600 for a dealer replacement, I found the part for $38 online and switched it myself. After watching 50 videos that were older BMW models, there was no video showing how to get the switch out And replaced. So I did it. And here is the video. Let me know if you have questions. You can do it to.

Thanks Daniel. Popping mine off today as the button mechanism is falling in to the holder.
Thank you. First my fuse 22 was blown. Replaced it. And worked for a minute or two then died again. But the fuses are still good. So I think it's this control. I'll check ALL fuses again before ordering the part
Not fun to identify the right switch. In fact it might be easier to remove it first so you can check the OEM part # and how many pins go to the wiring harness, which is what some aftermarket switch makers use to differentiate between different options. From what I can tell an f30 can have rear window shades, some have retractable mirrors and some don’t. I have the exact same one this guy has and it is a six pin model. I have no idea if I have ordered the correct one-it was like $30-I get it today, so we’ll see. I was going to eliminate risk and buy OEM from the local BMW parts shop to get it a little faster and make sure it works thinking if it was less than $200 it’d be worth it, but when I called to get a price they quoted something north of $350.00 so I’m risking the Amazon switch. You can buy durable body pry tools on Amazon for like $9.00. I think you could also do it with poly-coated or stiff nylon/polymer bike tire irons. Be aware it’s going to feel like you’re going to break something when removing it. The key is to get space under it on the side to fit a tool under the front, pry the front up and then pull up and forward
Thank you so much for the information. Doing this as soon as my part come in.
Same issue but mine turned out to be the fuse!
For this part, I ended purchasing this part through Amazon:
What was you initial problem. My side mirrors go down and to the left but won’t go up and to the right
