There's a hydraulic arm that is mounted on the front part of the door frame. I can't imagine this is a simple bolt on changeover. I'm sure it can be done, but for what BMW charges for OEM parts and at $125/hr labour, I would think you'd be looking at a couple thousand bucks to get it done. It is a nice touch but a difficult retrofit I'm guessing.
