Replacing M2 window switches with M3/4 units

I've noticed that the window switches on the M3/M4 are nicer quality units than the plain plastic ones on the M2.
Does anyone know if the M2 units are interchangeable with the M3/M4 ones.
They look similar in photos.

No, but when my M2 arrives soon, I might source the part number and see if it's compatible. I've looked at many photos and they look the same.

Good question. At BMW's price point, it should be aluminum but who knows....

I'd wager they're just silver plastic.
