E63 Front doors rattle/flex when shut , rears do not, anyone notice this?

Just finished washing the car and my two front doors sound like crap when shut from the outside, windows were up not down.

The bottom of the doors below the molding flexes like crazy and the door feels so fragile and loose. Both rear doors close with a solid thump. Why the fronts dont?


What the hell is up here? If this is normal then Mercedes quality has gone down the tubes. That was one thing i loved on my older MB from 1990-2001 they felt so solid.

They probably had to remove some structural material in the doors to offset the E63's lack of torque.
