Soft close doors
Am I overlooking something or are soft close doors no longer an option on the 5 series? I don't find them on the BMW site for configuration.
Did I not get that email? |

Wow that sucks for the lower model guys.
I love the soft close doors, cars without it feel so archaic and cheap.

The regional differences are really strange...
I have soft close doors on my MY 2012 520d; here it's not included in any package (it used to be on the E60), just available separately. Could you not try just ordering separately? - the factory must be set up to provide it like that. |

Thats the kind of logic that saw the steering wheel replaced by the joystick in all those "futuristic" concept cars.....

I was told this is only temporary and there is a supply issue with components.. Of course, dealers can be wrong.
A similar thing happened to the 6 series back in 2006 with comfort access and soft close doors. Time will tell.

Agree on the possible shortage. We have a 2011 535xDrive with the convenience package and soft close doors. We also just took delivery of a 2012 Catbon Black M sport (His Car!) and the soft clsose doors could not be ordered...not in any package for 2012 535. Not good BMW.
