Instrument Cluster Cover Removal

Brand new member here. Looks like a great forum. Hope you can help me out with a question.

I have a 2016 M235i 6 speed manual that I recently purchased and for some reason the clear polycarbonate cover over the instrument cluster has a crack in it.

My question is can this cover be easily removed and replaced with one from a donor car or do I need to replace the entire cluster? I've swapped this out before on other brands of cars, but I am new to BMW. If anyone has actually done this, any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I thought I'd provide a quick follow-up to my original question in case anyone else has the same question. Just completed the lens replacement tonight in less than 15 minutes.

The cover is in fact very easy to replace. Six clips and four screws and it comes right apart. Removal of the cluster from the car is as easy as it gets. Two T-20 torx screws at the top, pivot forward, remove 2 electrical connectors from the back, and it pulls right out. Putting it back in is equally as easy.

I did disconnect the battery just to be safe, remembering not to close the trunk while the battery was disconnected since the power latch won't release the trunk lid if there is no power.
