BMW F15/F85 soft close door actuator replacement
Рет қаралды 1,748
My 2018 x5m drivers door soft close function stopped working a few days ago. I could hear the motor trying to pull the door but there was no actual door action present. I got an el cheapo ebay soft close motor and had the factory unit replaced. Overall took me about an hour start to finish, but now i am sure i can do it in 20-30 minutes. Worst part was the actuator cable but once the white/tan plastic cover is removed and door lock loosened this provided enough slack to be able to snap the new cable in place.

Mine was replaced under warranty. If it happens again, now I know it's something I can fix myself since warranty has expired! Thanks so much for your demo!

My driver side door doesn't work either. Looks like a common problem. I will likely be doing this myself. Would you recommend replacing whole unit or just try to fix frayed wire? I will definitely be using this video for repair.

There is no way you can fix the frayed cable, too much stress on it, id replace the part and be done with it. If you try to repair the cable it would become shorter as well, likely would alter the operation angle

How much does this cost to have someone do it for me

I am not sure unfortunately. Id say realistically 2-2.5hr labor plus part cost
