F36 wing mirror replacement

Just seeing if anyone can help - colleague managed to take his wing mirror out on a post while reversing his 440i GC (2017) last week - he spoke with local garage near work who told him to get one from breakers / flea-Bay & they would fit..

He got one for £200 (stressed to breakers it was for an F36) but he says that the mirror has 6-pins = not 5 like his old one (or maybe vice-versa). Mirror doesn't work & door window now not working? Indie saying that the mirror is wrong = I'm thinking he could ask them to cannibalise the electrics out of his old one?

Should he just bite the bullet & get another or would cannibalising the old one work?

Cheers

6 pins is for the non folding mirror. 5 Pin is for the folding mirror. The wiring is different so won't work.
I'm guessing it was the passenger mirror?
It would be easier return for a refund or to buy a replacement mirror and sell the old one.

Swapping over the electrics isn't too hard.

Follow the guide I put together in this thread.
