can someone confirm that this retrofit is possible on all E60/E61 models irrespective of options. Specifically, is it possible to do this if you have comfort access option?

What other models parts are interchangeable with E60 excluding the motor adapter plates?

thanks

Anybody know if these screws are available to buy?





I bought an used soft close latch on eBay from a reputed seller but when I received it, the part of a different door and is missing two of these studs (broken). Wondering if these are available to buy separately or I should hack and come up with something homemade.

thanks

Searched all over realoem, couldn't find any references to these special screws.
Wonder if someone has broken motors that they can salvage these screws or if there are any alternatives. I am missing the adapter plate for driver's door as well.
