I just need an instruction on how to pop off the mirror cover without breaking anything . I tried to do it very slowly like jsoto suggested but got scared thinking I may break the clips.
Are there any hand tools that may help prying it off?

You're just going to have to "nut up" as they say and yank it off slowly. Takes a decent amount of force. I use a plastic "bone" pry tool and was careful the first few times I did it... I broke a bunch of those small wedge looking things but the clips hold it on there fine when reinstalling. Subsequent removals (on 2 different X5's) I just yank it off there now with much less care since you are almost guaranteed to break the little wedge things. Clips should survive though. Mine always do.
