Soft close automatic.
Effortless and quiet: Soft close automatic ensures that the doors of your BMW are securely closed with a minimum of exertion and without unpleasant noise.

In tight parking spaces or whenever a gentle closing of the door is appreciated, Soft close automatic provides a helping hand: simply push the door until it is almost closed. When the door is within approximately 6 mm of the lock, sensor activates an electric motor that pulls the door firmly and quietly closed and secures it. The components of the door locks are automatically returned to their original position.
The door can be opened again at any time. The soft close automatic process is also run whenever the door is manually closed, to ensure the door is properly shut.

It sounds more like when you close your trunk, you hear that sound of the door lid to the chassis closing. I think it's a neat feature when I first saw and play around with it with my friend's 745. I wish I can do this with the X5 because those doors are build like tanks. It's really hard for most people to try to close my X5 doors without slamming the crap out of it.
