G31 LCI trunk closes loudly
The automatic tailgate closes really really loud, like you are smashing the trunk on an ‘84 opel kadett, is it the way it’s supposed to be, has been bothering me for quite a while?

Don’t know what you mean by “really loud” the tailgate on my G31 closes with a firm sounding clunk

What is your model year (or build date)? If your G31 can be coded...you can change the parameters to slow down the tailgate so that it doesn't slam shut with an annoying thud (as if someone is slamming it shut like an idiot).
This has been a sore subject across multiple platforms that have a tailgate. Here's an old thread on an F15/F16 (X5/X6) forum that deals with this problem and fixes it by changing the last few parameters to slow down the tailgate as it nears closing: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1789147 If your G31 is codeable, you'll need to look for the closing parameters for your model or a Touring model...which may be slightly different than one of the SUV models. Good luck.

Yeah it closest fast, will look for the parameters to code it, it’s an audible clunk as if someone hit it hard, there is no sound if it’s misaligned or something just imagine closing a big tailgate really hard. It’s a 2023 g31
