Regarding the doors, there was someone on this forum last year who reported that they get easier to close the more you slam them. So he spent 20 minutes opening and slamming the doors to "break them in". |

That being said, I had a 320d loaner recently and needed to use to boot (trunk) Terrible latching. Too much opening force and hard to close. Very tinny sounding as well. Don't know why. Anyway, it's a fairly easy service department adjustment, so yes have it looked at & adjusted to your satisfaction.

BTW, not sure if this is your car in the pic, but where did you get the bracket to hold the Emergency triangle? I have the triangle from a previous car, but the F30 didn't come with the brackets. Thanks

Here in Canada we didn't get the emergency triangle, brackets, and a whole bunch of things that US buyers get for the trunk. See my thread in the Canadian forum about this. |

F30 spring loaded hinges are sort of fighting against you as you try to close the trunk. Typical of spring loaded hinges. I find that placing my fingers on the lip just below the license plate, while closing the trunk, works well 95% of the time.
The E90, and previous 3 series, trunk used struts. Those struts actually worked with gravity once you went past 45 degrees to help you (and gravity) close the trunk. |

This can easily be adjusted if you feel like dealing with it. If not the dealer can adjust it for you, it's fairly easy. I'm fine with it in my 335i. When I go in for any other needed service I'll have them adjust it. |
