on a related note,
i always tell my friends to use the handle when closing the door.
(hate the finger prints they leave if pushing anywhere else)

I know it's stupid, and I did it accidently, but I once quickly accelerated and then slammed the brakes on my e90 3-series with the passenger door open...the door swung at a high speed in the opening direction....How the fuck it didn't break right off, I have no clue, but just goes to show you how strong it's built....

In my experience, only my friends who do not own a German car will ALWAYS slam my car door so effing hard.
It's really annoying. I assume with honda's and corolla's their doors are rather light and when you slam it shut it doesn't make much of a noise? So when I drop off friends and they get out of my car they SLAM my door. With my car, you don't even need to swing it closed, after you pass a certain point the weight and inertia of the door will close on it's own. It's not an automatic door, but the way it's designed coupled with it's weight closes automatically.

It's annoying because they always say sorry when they do it because it makes such a loud noise, but the next time I drop them off or I drive they do it again :facepalm:
