You have two options. Get the genuine BMW full assembly from the dealer (cover isn't sold separately), which will likely run you ~$130. Or, you can get an aftermarket made cover off of eBay for something like ~$15.

Got mine on eBay and replaced it last week. Can't tell the difference from oem. Fits and works just like the original

If you look at other listings, they should all be the same quality as I'm sure they all come from China/HK. I know some of the other listings will ship internationally out of Asia. Worst case is you're out $10 if it doesn't work.

yeah, bought one earlier today. You find much hassle getting it on the switch?

Nope, my experience was just like the video you posted. Pop it off with a screwdriver and the new one just clicks in.
