Man it seems this door slamming problem is more wide spread than I realized!

When I get out of my car I barely tap the door and it does the rest for me. The doors are too heavy they close on their own.

Closed fist punches are the only thing allowed between 2 men. Punch him on the arm or something, but certainly don't slap his hand.

BMW car's door is more heavy. Like no matter how hard you try to close the door, it will never be too hard, because its too heavy to move it.
While light doors can slam....

I told my girlfriend right away to just get the door moving and it will close on it's own. Sometimes she forgets how heavy the door is. One time she flew the door open and it hit the truck next to us Luckily it didn't damage either vehicle.

I hate it when people slam my doors... what's worse is when they slam the rear hatch, it almost blows my ears out

I agree with a previous poster saying that the Z doors are TOO easy to close. Most people over estimate the force needed to close it and end up slamming it. My M3 door closing is like working out! I have to actually use some muscles to get it to close, while the Z I have to remind myself to be gentle.

i just hate the tiny parking spots we have around here, not being able to open the huge door all the way and having it close on you while you're trying to get out or in the car.

I think the doors feel nice and close very easily. There is no reason to slam them.

Yes they close perfectly fine and easy, yet people still feel the need to slam them. At least mine anyways.
