Drivers window slams shut

[Hvacdude]

I've only had my 2003 X5 for a few weeks. The only issue I have {so far} is that the drivers window shuts really hard when I use the one touch feature. The window closes {and opens even} with a disturbing SNAP. I ease the window up because I'm afraid I'm gonna shatter the window or break the nylon hardware within the window regulator. What should I look at to make the window close smooth ?
I have also noticed when I shut the driver side door, it sounds like something isn't bolted down in the door. Best description of the noise is a hard rattle from behind the door panel when I shut the door.
