Soft close automatic door

[Rocky99]

Possible to retrofit for F10?
This feature is quite useful as the doors are rather heavy.

Pls advise. Thanks.

Dont think that can be done...

I thought the f10 door is rather light though.(compare to my prev E60)

F10 doors are aluminum alloy compared to steel door on E60.

Actually i think it can be done with the right parts. But $$$

Re: Soft close automatic door

actually, i think this is good idea - for those with kids esp.

this sounds weird but i have actually fractured my own finger while closing a door before (honda integra showroom car) and had to operate (cos had an open wound fracture).

Chershen, hope your finger is now ok.

What a disappointment that it cannot be retrofitted.

Soft close is useful for kids, and when there is limited space from the car in the adjacent parking lot.

It's basically the locking mechanisiam only.

Agree.. F10's door are much much lighter... and much easier to dent as well

In such case it may be possible to add/exchange this mechanism, right?

I have seen on overseas forum soft-close door being retrofit on eg. E70 X5. I think it is a matter if you able to find a workshop willing and able to help you order the right parts and fit it nicely for you. And i foresee the cost to be high.

This guy managed to retrofit on his f10
