- Episode 1 of 2 S323A Soft-Close-Automatic doors
In this episode I will retrofit Soft Close Automatic doors on this wonderful BMW e60 , for this operation I need all the locks with actuator for soft close, the wiring for each door and especially the wiring from inside the car, everything goes perfectly especially if you do it with pleasure . Of course it will take some time and especially a process like this, but the end result is amazing!

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.

The world needs more professionals like yourself
Somehow CZcams 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 🔥
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 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.
Thanks for appreciation !
Again, THANK YOU FOR CLEANING THE PARTS😍
Any time!
Great job. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see some cleaning, a lot of care and the Tesa tape!
Great job. Some of the points you made were great. Will take them into account when I do my E70 and my E60 retrofits
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！
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!
Which year is your e60 having the soft close door system inbuild ?
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.
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!
I appreciate that!
You are a man who deserves more. who's awesome
You are a hero mate! Really appreciate your work!
Hey thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Good job bro
From Iraq Baghdad 👍👍👍🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
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.... !!! ;)
That is real passion! Good luck with the channel!
I appreciate it!

Nice video👌🏼 can you make a video on installing ambient lighting on e60?
Hello! Do you know if an Soft Close from e70 / F10 can be retroffited in e60! Thanks in advance. Great job!
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.
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.
👍😎
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
Can you do coding and programming tutorials on that car? Nice work, so many details that other youtubers hide when working on e60...
Hi there I am an f11 owner and would like to know where I can get a driver door window switches and I am from the UK so my drivers door is the opposite to the US
Nice job! How much would it cost to add that feature to a F01?
what cleaner do you use?
Hi Mate, i want to ask you about HUD retrofit, (Head up Display) on E60 2004/5, can you tell me what i have to do, i have HUD module and i have 1 e60 for parts, so i can take all things that I need from it,
Thanks in advance
Salut pe un e 90 se pot monta aceleașij incuietori cu softclose de pe e60?
hi! any chance same process on e46?
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
Hello! Use Realoem.com for P/N
@@MOvidiu Thank you 👍
Salut, mi s-a stricat softclose-ul la ușa șoferului la e60, il pot înlocui cu altul pentru f01? Se potrivește? Câți pini trebuie să aibă?
Hi, I’ve got f10 and want to do soft close retrofit, is it similar to e60?
Thanks
Hello , yes it is similar !
Is it possible to retrofit this on pre-lci models as well ?
Yes, you can!
Great job. 👍
Does this generation not have crash pads like F10 that need to be swapped?
Hello, no they don't have that
@@MOvidiu cool. That makes the job easier :)
Looking forward for the second part.
Could I use the same door harness for an E90 rear door?
Yes!
Where I can buy?
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.
Hello . there is not such a thing like a ''kit'' . you'll need to buy all the parts individually !
Even for the cable harnesses ?
@@MOvidiu if I don’t find any harness is it possible to do it myself ?
Which spray u used for connectors? And why?
Hello, I'm using a contact cleaner and protector, for protect the pins and to make sure that they are making perfect contact
@@MOvidiu thx
Bonjour
Est il possible de faire un retrofit sur ma e61 530xd LCI
-soft close
- adaptative Cruise contrôle
- night vision
- siège chauffant
- alarme
Merci
Salut,faci asta și pentru clienți? Sau doar pentru mașinile proprii?
Salut , din pacate eu nu te pot ajuta!
Do u provide yours self the parts for retrofits ?
What ? why ?
Oare la e39 se poate ? Fain video 💪
Nustiu ce sa zic dar sigur vor trebui facute niste improvizatii majore !
Waaau !! Did the E60 kome from factory with this ? 😃😃😃
Yep!
@@MOvidiu Can be mounted on the E38 too ?!
👌
🖐️🇵🇱🖐️
Is it posible to retrofit this on e90?
Hello! yes, it is!
Frate lucrezi in România ?
Salut. De unde esti? As avea si eu cateva intrebari legate de soft close, daca se poate! Mersi.
Salut , poti lasa aici o intrebare !
@@MOvidiu am gasit un e61 lci cu soft close si as vrea sa l cumpar sistemul si sa l montez pe un e60 lci. Imi poti spune exact de tot ce e nevoie sa fie luat ca sa nu am probleme la montaj ? Adica sa fiu sigur ca omul imi demonteaza exact tot ce am nevoie. Ambele masini sunt de europa, in acest sens nu sunt probleme. Mersi fain!
Bei avea nevoie de incuietorile cu softclose , suporti si cablaje , daca urmaresti ambele clipuri video vei vedea !
@@MOvidiu am inteles. Ii voi trimite clipurile sa vada tot ce imi trebuie. Tu cat ai luat pe manopera la toata treaba? Mersi de răspunsuri!
very interesting, the auto parts as I see are original for E60 are not from another series, right? (E70)
Yes original form another donor e60 !
De unde cumperi piesele ? A-și vrea și eu un contact ceva
De la parcuri de dezmembrari sau persoane fizice...si piese noi la ori-ce magazin de piese auto !
de ce nu gasesc si eu un om priceput asa ca tine si in ploiesti. numa verici pe aici :(
Salut . poate nu ai cautat unde trebuie ? sau intrebat pe cine trebuie !
Salut se poate sa vb an privat
Ai uitat sa stergi geamul in partea de jos, era mizer rau...
Mea culpa :)
