    My old BMW i3S 120Ah and i3S 94Ah - Highly modifed cars

You have to make an wiring harness and do some electrical work on the existing door harness to get them work. No coding required, so its basically plug and play (except of...

    Yes, no worries about slamming the door. They will not be damaged. I bought the latches for around 500EUR, so not such expensive in my eyes.

All other black parts are from other BMW models, expect of the sun roof cover (wich are painted) and the grey card holder on the...
