The power tailgate is a cool feature, too. It has, I think, four preset heights and you select one of them using iDrive. Then whenever you push the button to open the tailgate, it stops at the selected height. That way, if you have an underground parking lot, you can set the tailgate so that it doesn't hit the ceiling or any overhead pipes or whatever. To open it all the way, you pull down on it a bit and let go; what BMW calls a "ballpoint pen" mechanism.

Power Tailgate is nice and indeed works as you described..
The one on the pictures had the softclose, then I do not think people will not slam the doors, unless they are frequent users of your car...
I actually slammed them without realising this one had the soft close option.
On the other side, do not get upset the bimmer remains unaffected by the slamming...
