: : This is my first post to the board. I drive an automatic black '94 325is. Anyway, I find that the doors cannot be simply "thrown" shut, and must be pushed with what seems like an excessive amount of force. Is this just the way that cars were manufactured in '94? Because I notice my dads '98 528i doors close much more easily.

: : Thanks.

: You mentioned the car is black. Perhaps that is the problem.
