Agreed - if it sticks a bit it may be signs of a door carrier going south - I just did my drivers door for the first time and the passenger door for the second time this year, the passenger door was replaced with an aftermarket carrier and was never right.
Both doors work perfectly now with the OE carrier from BMW - stick with Genuine for this part IMO
