Metal rapping noise, front door, suspected latch contact. Is there a simple adjust : semi Loosen Phillips latch screws, gently close the door to bump align, tighten ?
Or are we in for reading Bimmer Forum incompetent jibberish, acronyms, hinge, trim stupid stuff, or the repair manual's reference to a lost instruction ?
Door latch adjust
Re: Door latch adjust
Does it have the buffer? That little not quite white plastic condom on the latch part on the door? Without it you'll never get the doors quite right.

Re: Door latch adjust
Yes, all four latches are covered with like new covers, the hinges, surround trim lubricated.
It appears there will be no quick and easy anti- rap, latch adjust instructions. We'll do it the old way : Pull the panels, clean the inner mechanicals, screw around learning until everything is right.
