Door does not close, unless you give it a big push/P5

Anybody had problems closing their doors. Are the doors feel very light to you guys? I feel like I really have to slam the doors to close it. Other than that, I am really happy with my P5.

Yeah, my doors require a concerted push to close if the windows are closed. It's just because 1) the air inside is being compressed slightly when all the windows are close and you close the door and 2) the P5 doors aren't heavy enough to counteract this on their own like a big old Buick. Look on the bright side though, that means the overall car weight is fairly light which is a GOOD thing in almost all respects.

Yeah, BMW door must be really slammed to get them closed-due to all noise insulation and seals. Thats good thing.
