Assuming it's like every other BMW mirror housing......
Tilt the mirror fully down, so that the top edge has a gap. Slide your finger and try to wiggle it out. It requires persistence and some pressure but do not force or else you may rip the connector out, which would be bad because then you'd have to buy a new housing. |

Here is the official BMW method. I had to do mine this morning and it worked. When you look at the back of the new mirror you can see that it is secured by pushing it down onto 4 clips - logically it comes off by prising it upwards (up to the sky, not outwards) off those 4 clips.

I've seen that write up but the clips on the E70 are different. They are in a circle and not just the 4 as pictured in that document

Sorry dude - for some reason I thought we were talking e53! I must have clicked on the e70 forum when I thought I was clicking on the e53 forum.
I have no idea how it works on the e70. Good luck though. |

Still the procedure is the same - tilt fully sideways or down, grab and pull.

I would like buy the Euro mirror glass as well. I use to drive in France, just about every car had the outer portion with a convex mirror. I miss it. Where do you gets these and what was the cost?

My e46 and e38 had a small rotating lock piece at the bottom of the mirror. Make sure you don't see a little tab underneath the mirror glass before you start pulling it off.
