Ive had many bmws, all of them had nicer sound when closing doors.
E39 E46 where my last ones, the sound when closing doors has nicer feeling.
The E60 doors are probl larger, but they rattle on closing
Cant find anything lose on doorpanels.

Have you had your window regulators fixed (replaced) and/or door locks? I've had "noisy" doors after some of that kind of maintenenace in the past.

The doors make a soft "thud" sound in my LCI but when the windows are down the doors make a noisy rattling sound when i close it.

I do like the easier closing of the doors in the E60 though, in the E39 I had to whack them to close them properly and in this car I can just close them. Just as if the air couldn't exit the car fast enough and kept the doors from closing. With a window open, it was not a problem as much. In this one, that seems better.

No rattling sound here, just a metallic 'tac' when closed.


PS: check the other thread about the things of the e60 that we hate most.... quite a thread.......

The direction flash light located on the left and right hand top corner which always was covered by Steering wheel. Hard for visible. If change to top middle of the cluster will much better.

+1 the e60/61 doors are rattley only when window is down... i am going to refrain from sharing my opinions on why i think that is but we can all deduct why its the case when compared to the e39.
