BMW E65 E66 REAR DOOR ACTUATOR LOCK REPLACEMENT REMOVAL

Is your BMW 7-Series door refusing to lock, or has the Soft-Close feature stopped working? The door lock actuator is a high-failure item on the E65 and E66 chassis. In this video, we show you how to remove the rear door panel and replace the lock actuator assembly.

Whether you have a petrol V8 or a high-torque diesel V8, the door hardware is identical across the range. We cover the differences between the standard locks and the S323A Soft-Close automatic doors.
