from BMW WDS online
Optical element The optical element is adhered to the windshield behind the rear-view mirror. It consists of a glass body (prism) which routes the beams emitted by infrared diodes at a defined angle to the windshield. The light beams reflected by the windshield are routed by the optical element to the infrared receivers. The optical element is heated by a heating element to ensure condensation cannot form on it. The optical element is bonded together with the windshield in a special process such as to guarantee the physical properties of the system. This bonding process cannot be carried out in the workshop. Therefore when replacing the windshield, a special windshield with the optical element already bonded to it must be used.

Or are you talking about re-attaching the rearview mirror to the windshield mount? I think I read somewhere that the rearview mirror itself just rotates onto the mount. Just twist it on.

If memory serves me, there's a TIS that talks about this. On the X5, there's supposed to be what looks like an air bubble on the lower corner (closer to the driver side - LHS) of the sensor. I have it on my X5. OTOH, my MCoupe doesn't have such air bubble
 Why are you trying so hard to get rid of the air bubble? Is the rain sensor not working properly? As long as it's operating properly, I couldn't care less if there's a bubble or not.
