OWN 2008 BMW 750 W/ SOFT CLOSE DOORS. HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2005-2007 750S THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. AT 35 MPH, DOOR FLEW OPEN AND I COULDN'T CLOSE. SOMETIMES IT LATCHES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. CPO JUST EXPIRED 1 MONTH AGO. DEALER WANTS $ 1800 TO FIX. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS W/ SOFT CLOSE DOORS - NOTHING BUT HEADACHES. CONSIDERING THE 2008 HAS THE SAME DOORS AS THE 2007, I CANNOT IMAGINE WHY THE RECALL DIDN'T EXTEND TO THE 2008 ALSO. *TR

I BEGAN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAME OPEN AND WOULD NOT LATCH AFTERWARD. *TR
