You have to take the entire mirror cap off to replace. Looks like you are looking at a new mirror cap and a new blinker strip and the base #12 (may need to have it painted). Once you take the cap off, you should be able to figure out how to remove the base. It may be repairable with some super glue or at least improved. It's very easy, you need a long flat head screwdriver. You turn the mirror all the way down and all the way in towards the car. Then there are two clips on the top of the case. You need to pop those two clips. Better off ordering a new set. Plenty of options with and without the blinker. Get the new ones in hand and then you can easily see the clips I am talking about.

Plenty of YouTube videos out there.

It's fairly straightforward. You turn the mirror all the way to one side to be able to fit your hand under the mirror glass. Take the mirror glass out by pulling it from both sides.
Then you have 5 screws to take off. One is in the centre (that's Canadian for center ) of the drive (#6) and four screws in the supporting ring (#5). once you take all screws off both the supporting ring (#5) and mirror cap (#8) easily come off as Joe mentioned just two clips on each side. Make sure you go easy on them they tend to break easily. Then you should have another 2 bolts/screws that connect #11 to #12 around the base.
From the looks of it, you need a new blinker and caps too but for #12 at least, they come in black only and you don't need to paint them. I found one on ebay, for ones with 360 camera but not without. It shouldn't be more than $150 for it though. ebay one is $70 before shipping so you might be better off buying it from the dealer.
Good luck

Were you ever able to replace the lower cover? Was it difficult to do?

Thanks

Yes, your local BMW dealership’s parts department. Simply drop by or call them and give them your VIN. We can’t give you the exact part number because there are multiple numbers depending on which mirror option and other options you may have. Without your VIN, we could give you the wrong part number.

If you drop by the parts department (not the service department)…take a pic so that you can show them the exact piece you need in the diagram.
