Part numbers

[Imy]

Hi,

I need some help with part numbers...
I need to get replacement window switch control for my X. I took it out to check the part number, when I check the item on eBay there are a number of them available all with different part numbers...
I've checked on realoem but the site keeps crashing on me...

So if I know it's the part does the part number really matter?

Thanks for the link.

I need the one with folding mirror switch. Will any of the ones fit regardless of part number?

All as per parts with 01 reference next to them......top most are earliest parts & 61316962509 thew latest one/

There's a new one on ebay as part number 61316962509 - ebay item number 130803475379........... good price for new & a significant saving on dealer price.

Fab recycling a very trusted bmw salvage company have a used one for £45 item 181024190578

I'd avoid the Lithuanian one at £35 as with post its same as fab recycling one with free p&p
