1998 M3... I took the proper steps in replacing Brake Light Switch...Did well until when I could not get the new switch to click in. The old one out but can not get the new one to go in...I might have ruined the new one trying to get to go in...is there a trick...I thought this part would be easy! Thanks Woody

It's possible you broke the retaining tabs on your switch. use this photo for reference of what the switch should look like. You can see the retaining tabs on the side of the switch.
