Soft Close Doors Retrofit BMW e60 part 1

[@mkd456]

The world needs more professionals like yourself

[@tonyc7893]

Ahh this brings me back. I did this retrofit to my E60 a few years ago, took me 4 days to finish it because the urge to clean every nook and cranny keep kicking in. I also didn't want to source a wiring harness because like you said it only needed 2 wires for power and ground. So I bought the plugs and pins and ran the wires to the fusebox myself. My early build (Nov04) pre-lci doors also didn't have the holes for the actuator bracket, so had to guess and drill them. All in all, not something I would do again because it was a major pain in the behind for not much reward. 99% of the time your passengers will slam your doors anyways, even after telling them.

Somehow KZbin recommended your content, even if I never searched bmw videos, because you probably could tell from my name. But I was blown away your talent and making some great videos 🔥

[@xile321]

I don't have an E60 anymore but really wanted to do this retrofit back then. I still watched the entire video because it's so well made and you have alot of tips and tricks that apply to other models as well.

[@MOvidiu]

Thanks for appreciation !

[@moonwalk6404]

Again, THANK YOU FOR CLEANING THE PARTS😍

[@MOvidiu]

Any time!

Great job and great video. more of this please! Just a remark on our remark about the smell of sh*t. It doesn't actually come from the dust. It's mostly caused by bacteria and spores accumulated on the AC evaporator. The smell starts again if outside temperature is high enough and you're using the A/C. The condensing water on the evaporator makes perfect culture for bacteria to grow. This comes from an incorrect use of the A/C, by not switching it off early enough before the end of the drive. ~5min before the end of your drive, switch off the A/C but keep the fan running. This way the the evaporator will dry and no bacteria can accumulate. If it already smells bad, only way to get rid of it is a thorough disinfection of the evaporator.

I already have these fitted from the factory but I wanted to see what’s behind everything. The amount of cleanliness and how professional everything was done just brings tears to my eyes, amazing. Felicitari!

[@glacieropgaming1683]

Which year is your e60 having the soft close door system inbuild ?

[@milehighboost5521]

I absolutely love that we can retro fit these. Please make a video on retrofitting the seat cooling system if possible. Not sure if your car already came with that option or not.

I appreciate your work a lot. You provide loads of value with your talent and quality of work. You‘re the man! Keep it up!

[@MOvidiu]

I appreciate that!

[@esentials]

Great job. Some of the points you made were great. Will take them into account when I do my E70 and my E60 retrofits

[@marek556]

Great job! I did this retrofit to my F10, procedure is almost exact same. F10 front door are bit trickier, because there are crash pads, that need to be replaced with suitable for soft close lock actuator. And I did built my own wiring harness, it much cheaper to do so.

[@BMW-fe5ok]

本当、作業が綺麗で最高です。作業ついでに清掃しながらしている方は見た事ないです！

[@andreiion3334]

The quality of your videos improved a lot. Your english sounds better too. It's easier and more enjoyable to watch your videos now. Thank you!

[@MOvidiu]

Happy to hear that!

[@mellodeque]

NIce, Clean Job. I also add some protection wax inside the door, without foam barier, it's ease to clean down od the door, then add protection wax, to prevent rust in future.... - BTW. excellent and clean job with explanation. Cheers from Poland ;) Keep working.... !!! ;)

[@JGV_IX]

Ovi, thank you for the video. My daily driver is a 2021 Z4 M40i - I love the car, but the sound of the doors closing is terrible - do you know if there is a retrofit for soft close for the G29? Thanks and take care!

Hey Ovidiu. I want to do the same retrofit to a G11 2017. I know the door panels are different, but would you be able to tell if there is much difference between this E60 and G11? Thanks man.

[@agapepz4111]

Wonderful job. Me e70 2013 has soft close but the passenger side not working. Also comfort access not working too. Could I have your contact. To get the solution for this

[@Sergiu.Solyom]

bravo mestere !!!

[@dze9587]

Nice video👌🏼 can you make a video on installing ambient lighting on e60?

[@Milian7771]

Can you retrofit the automatic open close mechanism door from bmw 7 series to any bmw?

[@alfistasubbie]

Thanks for this excellent videos on this particular project. quick question, is your car equipped with comfort access? Is the wiring harness the same for soft-close if using in a car with comfort access? realoem lists only one part# for door wiring harness which is very confusing.

[@khyrofilms]

Another, well done job ;) Regards... ;) best YT channel for BMW Equipment users ;) ;)

[@indrekneemrand2180]

what cleaner do you use?

[@qiqeh]

Nice job! How much would it cost to add that feature to a F01?

[@johnvarney1844]

Excellent video. Do you have part number for the plugs to connect to the soft close module as i bought them but cant source the harnesses so need to buy cable and plugs to make the harness. Scotland, uk

is there a kit i can order for this? this is awesome. I’m not sure which is what in the list in the description sorry.

[@MOvidiu]

Hello . there is not such a thing like a ''kit'' . you'll need to buy all the parts individually !
