you'll need to change the door locks and install hydraulics in there somehow. Probably doable, as long as there's space for it. Are there any e60's that came with it?

the 7 series I know...

I'm guessing here, but assuming that the actual hydraulics that "suck in" the doors are in the doors, all you'd need to do is get your hands on some 7 series locks and retrofit them onto your e60 - in theory, as long as there's enough space, this should really be a pretty straight forward job... but its never easy as that, ya know...
