My interpretation from reading the BMW tech info...soft close is a stand alone feature. It reads as if you could unplug the electrical connection (essentially cutting power)...and just close the doors manually. See/read the info below to see if you come away with the same thinking. The text highlighted in yellow was NOT done so for this thread...it was highlighted in regards to a question asked in a thread long ago...but the pic/info was in my “stash”...so it is being reused here.
