I, too, regretted not getting the very same option and with your detailed tutorial video, I now have the confidence in getting what I dreamed of having for a long time. Good job!! It will be the next summer project!

Anything can breakdown even original equipment. This is working very well so far. Lately my walker was in the way as the tailgate was closing, it barely touched the back rest and stopped. Good equipment!

Great video Raymond! This really helped me with my BMW 1500s corsa. Keep up the good work

great video Raymond. I appreciate you taking the time to post step by step instructions. one question I had was, you seem to have a cut out on the boot lid cover for the door lock and power gate button on nearside of the latch but you cut out another opening to install it on the off side. what is the purpose of that? cable not long enough to reach? I have placed my order for both power lift gate and kick sensor for My wife's X3 and awaiting for delivery.

Thanks for a very detailed and professionally done video. I have a 2014 X1 228ix and love it. But the power tailgate was not offered for this model (early production year run) and it’s been driving me crazy for the last four years. Since we only have 40k miles on this car and it’s paid off in February of next year, we’re going to keep it and drive it til the wheels fall off. This same company offers a kit for the X1 2014 model year. I have not seen a video online for that kit - certainly not one that even comes close to your highly detailed presentation. Wondering if you know if there would be a great deal of difference in installation between the E86 model and this one? Or have you ever had occasion to install a kit on a 2014 X1? Either way you did a great job and we (collectively - BMW X Model owners with these non-installed lift/closer kits) are grateful to you for the effort and the job you did. Thanks. Mark

Great video. Very well explained!

Ordered, installed working good. Assisted by seller with installation. Thank you for video, very helpfull.

Received the kit as promised. Our VW Dealer installed it, it looks and operates as well as if it was original equipment, there are no wires showing, it adjust easily for height and speed of opening. The original key fobs operate as remote controls and the dash and tailgate buttons make it a complete unit. This makes it very safe for a handicapped person to open and close the tailgate. Would recommend it to anyone Great unit

can i ask how much they charged?

First of all thanks for this super interesting DIY retrofit.Then, my question; probably I am not good for this kind of job enough, though I don’t catch the point about the dash board button.I mean, in a bmw e70 preLCI where I have the dash button, do I need to connect and pull the wires from the tailgate, or it’s just a question of taking the power? Thanks for ur time @Raymond C

Raymond, Thank you for your time to prepare and place this extremly detailed video. You're brilliant! I only need to replace the gas struts in my car that are damaged, but I also can see how to do in your video. Hope it is just replace, plug and play, and don't need to program the unit. what do you think? thanks again!

This video Sir is spot on. Job well done!

ONE SMART DUDE! Thanks GREAT Vid!

Amazing work sir

Hey Raymond. Great job.. can You write what You did with new latch from the set that finally has silver color like oryginal one ? Did You just paint it? On The beginning of Your video You explain the difference between oryginal one and new one. Thanks!

Hello Raymond, Excuse me for my english. Thank you for thé vidéo and thé lien for the liftgate. I was looking for this system for a long time. Good day et thank you

Hi Raymond, I'm looking at fitting this to my 2012 X3 and wondered if you could tell me if you still have the car and if anytthing is still working or if you sold itm was it working fine up until you did? Cheers

Hi Reymond thanks for nice video How did you manage to change the black paint latch loop to chrome

I sprayed the exposed section of the latch loop with silver wheel paint and clear lacked. I makes it look more like the real thing even though the paint gets removed where the lock latch engages onto it.

Hi, It is a bit difficult to know what the problam is as the information you have give is rather spars. But if the proble is intermittent. I would start by eliminating the posability that one of the connetions between the switch to the control box has not become partialy disconnected during the installation of that wiring loom.

William oh your right, it didn’t become standard until 2013 update! It was available though as a $500 stand-alone option or included in the Convenience Package.
