two answers as I don't know what a mirror plate is.
to remove the whole mirror, place one hand on the front side of the mirror and sharply smack the glass side of the mirror. catch the mirror so it doesn't fall.
to reinstall, line up the forward pin of the three pins and push it until it clicks home. line up the other two pins and push them into place evenly.
to replace the mirror glass, follow step one, use a medium blade screwdriver at one corner and gently pry the glass out. pad the corner with a rag to prevent scratching the paint. if the mirror glass is stubborn, lift one corner then another corner. dont be timid.
to install the new glass, line up the round mirror socket and push the glass evenly hone until it clicks in. again, don't be timid or it won't seat. if your mirror rotating ball is broken, the mirror won't seat, the ball will have to be replaced. less than 10.00
They made Google for a reason.
The 1997 BMW 528 outside mirror wiring diagram can be obtained from most BMW dealerships. The outside mirror wiring diagram can also be found in most BMW service manuals.
Mirror fixIf you look on the lower side of mirror there is a small hole/opening and a small straight blade screw that lossens the mirror from the housing. Undo the screw, remove mirror glass assembly and you will see mirror glass brackets that open & release glass
