not sure if it just me or other shares the same view, that the door panel doesn't feel or sound sound like metal? my wife complains that it sounds like plastic?

Re: BMW F10 520 door

I used to drive a merc.
Upon comparison, our door just doesn't sound "solid" enuff when u close it.
The thud seems hollow on e f10
 
Re: BMW F10 520 door

I thot the f10 door sounds more metal, meaning hollow like what horrible said. My previous e60 sounded more luxurious.

i thought of putting dynamat or those insulation mats but installers told me will add unnecessary weight. I dun wanna come in start a FC thread on before and after insulation mats installation as I scared kenna whacked by old birds here.

THANKS all....

Yes when I use my fingers to knock on the exterior. The reverberations feels like plastic or sounds like plastic or a combination of both. And yes i also think it's the aluminum doing the trick. No dents of plastic =)

I think the 'plastic' sound / feel is less on the 535...could be the insulation, or other gadgets that the 535 has in the door which is not in the 520..

I will do that when i am back at PML next week. I will make sure i 'test' on their other cars as well.

My previous E60's door felt strong and had the luxurious sound as MW shared in the above.

I googled it yesterday and the results confirmed that the F10s door are made of AL, which reduced the weight by close to 30kg. So that explains the light-ness feel.
