When I close my driver door I have to slam it for it to close well I saw that the rubber for the door on the car is damaged

Sounds like the broken rubber to me... i am sure if you close it carefully and watch/listen to where its catching, you will be able to tell where the problem is. When something is obviously broken I would say fix that first before trying to find other reasons it may not work... you can adjust it 20 times to get it right but once you replace the rubber it still wouldnt be correct due to the adjustments you made......

If the door is misaligned this also will cause it not close properly, here are some causes;
- Someone was hanging on your and using it as a swing.
- Accident.
- Broken or damaged seals or door cover is wedged out.
Have in mind BMW doors are not easy to get misaligned and if it is usually there is an obvious reason the change of weather or carwash doesn't effect its alignment.
