Is it sure that there is one for E60 trunk? Because I think Soft-Close is only for the doors and not for trunk.

Hey cochi, need some clarification here Buddy. What is this Soft Close problem you are referring you? None of us have this feature on our trunks, or any other part of our car...

I think the OP is using the wrong terminology. The E60 trunk won't hang halfway between open and close. It shuts if not fully open past a certain point. I wouldn't call it a soft close like the door operation. I'm guessing his can hang halfway open now.

The doors are quite heavy and this option helps, some might think it is useless option but I like it. It would be even better if it would be included also for trunk.
