cool mod - did you had to modify anything in the door

Alex-R-1 · 11-28-2013, 04:50 AM

Need to install a motor lock in door and connect it to the power supply. In doors do not need to change anything.

Brave project. I am not convinced because there seems to be a gap after the soft closure. I don't know whether the video is deceptive or there is really a gap Alex.

That is pretty cool.

Maybe the video is? All locks closes gently! Everything works as the OEM locks BMW E63 6 from the factory! Maybe not clear on the video?

Nicely Done Alex!

Pretty cool....My 1991 Acura Legend did that.

khanhdom · 12-06-2013, 10:42 PM

yea my ls430 does it also, nice retrofit

Awesome and skillful mod on your part. Having said that I've never quite been a fan of the softclose doors even though both my bmw's have it. I've never found it that useful. Innovative and neat yes, useful no. Not trying to start a flamewar on subject, just don't see such a need. I can shut my doors pretty easily.

Mr.Slow · 12-15-2013, 01:16 PM

any chance you want to share blue print of that bracket?
or can I want to buy carbon bracket from you?

Cas74 · 12-23-2013, 08:05 PM

Very Nice!
