On my particular 750 I noticed that the bottom corner of the door protruded a few millimeters when closed, enough that it wasn't lining up with the B-Pillar trim. I was able to push in on that corner until it was flush and thought maybe the latch needed to be adjusted (soft close option) to get a better seal.

I brought this to the attention of my service advisor and was somewhat shocked when he brushed me off as though what I suggested had zero credence. Upon my insistence he quickly looked at it and claimed that it was within BMW tolerances. I still don't buy it.

Part of me wants to break out the decibel meter and log the results as I know there's no way so much noise should be entering the cabin.
The thing is mine started to be this noisy only recently. I think it is something to do with a seal. I do not visually see anything wrong with my front passenger door. It also seems to happen when it is colder outside. Once the car gets warmer -> the noise level drops (not 100% sure). I will setup an appointment with my dealer and see what they say about this.
