When is "Soft close" available for the new M5?
Will you wait for it?

Wow - great information. I stand corrected - soft close option from '06 it is. I wonder if this is North America only or worldwide, since NA gets a number of unique options (like Sirius).m_five said:Soft close doors will be available spring of 2006 according to the US M5 product information guide:

This is good information. Not only confirms the manual but specifies that it will become available with fall 2006 production. I wish we could have a full scan of this guide.m_five said:Soft close doors will be available spring of 2006 according to the US M5 product information guide:

Personally its one of those things that will remain totally silly to me. This doesn't belong in an ///M even if it only adds just a couple of ounces of weight. It would be nice if BMW took weight seriously and put an end to worthless feature creepMEnthusiast said:Its one of those things that seems totally silly until you live with it.
I have to agree - they started with that feature on the trunklids of Cadillacs to assist the 'older people'. I can't get that image out of my mind. I'll pass on that feature.rvacha said:Personally its one of those things that will remain totally silly to me. This doesn't belong in an ///M even if it only adds just a couple of ounces of weight.
