If it's any help I've replaced mine on my F10, was fairly easy once I had prised up the trim piece.
Just a few hex bolts, taking care not to drop anything down into the centre console.

Good luck.

Hi,same thing happened to mine common fault apparently,yes quite easy as already said just unclip the trim and its about four or five torx screws only issue is cable is short that the switch plugs into,one good thing is no coding so just plug new one in all done.
