Yes.
No other BMWs have such noise.

Good question - I've thought about it too. All 4 doors on my X have a bit of a different sound when closing, and the back doors seem to sound more solid than the fronts. I also recently drove a 328xi ('07) and the doors sounded so much more solid than on my X. Because my doors sound different from each other, I'm guessing there might be a bit of room for adjustment, but the alignment of the doors to the body looks great so I'm a bit leery to ask anyone (dealer) to touch it...

i was thinking that the doors may be a little misaligned...

when the front windows are down, there is an unnerving sound when you close the doors (the sound of the glass vibrating)...

My driver's door shuts solid with a normal thumb. The passenger's side door shuts overly loud with a bang...I feel like it'll break something. My rear passenger doors shut so quietly that they feel like they aren't shut fully...even the rear passengers complain that they feel like they need to re-open and shut them several times, but they still don't sound fully closed, even though they are.

My rear passenger door ash trays keep creeping out with every shut!

Could be that some "stuff" in there may need a little tightening up...

I thought it was just me (wondering about it) or something wrong with my X5. The doors certainly have a loud "bam" sound to them - almost like you're slamming them shut no matter how easy you try to close them. Our X3 & 550i have the traditional BMW solid-sounding closing noise when closing the doors & trunk. I don't understand why the X5 doors and rear hatch sound like that?
