Soft Close and boot\trunk\tail lid

Post by IIIRestorerIII » Fri Jun 10, 2016 4:36 pm

Hi,

I have the soft close option on my X5, which to be fair I originally thought would be a gimmick but absolutely love now . 

Anyways, my question to you guys is with the soft close doors and the the auto tailgate, would I expect the tailgate to latch and soft close?

If not, how do I go about with adjustments it to make less of a thud on closure.

Thanks,

Mo

Thanks.  I've taken to letting the boot come down and pushing the button towards the bottom to stop it.  If I time it right the boot then just needs a small push to "soft-close".  Thankfully haven't trapped my arm, yet  :crazy:
