Soft close usually stops working due to broken retaining screw on the soft close motor. Use a 1 1/4 inch Bolt or screw with nut to replace the broken one. If the motor is making broken sound then it cannot be repaired, you have to get it replaced. Good thing about softclose motor is that you can get the motor of any BMW's irrespective of model and replace with the same technique. I have used E60 motor and lock with my E70.
I have used the same motor for F10 and F01 also.
