Its an inch or so in from the outside edge, just a nail hole.
Apparently BMW say (in the owners handbook) that its not safe.

Surely it would be more environmentally friendly to repair.
The easiest form or recycling?
BTW Ross, our nearside headlamp motor doesn't work either.
Must be a common fault.
Thanks
