Soft Close Motor
The soft close motor on my front drivers door has stopped working. I can actually hear something rattling around when I shake the door so Kay e it somehow came unplugged but I haven’t pulled the door to examine it yet. In the event it’s not repairable and I need to buy another motor, has anyone used the cheaper versions seen on Amazon or EBay for sub ~$@150? Genuine BMW part is $500. Vemo who is the OE supplier suddenly has a big bump in price to $360 lately. Seems a little much for what this part does. Anyone have any luck with the cheaper options?

This one part is responsible for soft close doors and door locks.
All four of my door lock actuators eventually failed. I did the rears under warranty. In January I did the fronts which also solved my soft door close issue on the driver's side. The price is down to $445ea (genuinebwmminiparts), but last fall they were $456. It was about $900 labor at the local dealer to replace the fronts, FWIW.

I paid $322 for mine from FCP Euro. And the independent shop installed it for a flat fee of $125.

As of today: The Vemo brand on FCP Euro for p/n: 51-21-7-315-019 is $358.99. The OEM on FCP Euro for same p/n: $555.99. FWIW, FCP claims to have tested non-oem parts they sell to be equivalent to OE and with lifetime warranty. OP: Sorry, niether of my posts have answered your original question.
