I actually think mine closes with a nice thud and I wouldn't say I have to slam it shut either. I guess on some maybe the number plate is loose and it's that which causes the rattle effect?
Just to add - It has no automatic pull in mechanism if you just try and close the tailgate gently, as Clive mentioned you would need the electric tailgate and that wouldn't need any manual intervention (well, shouldn't!).

Thanks for the update guys..
Yes, did think the Number plate may need some adhesive strips as that could twang. If I drop the tail gate the last say 12" it doesn't close under its own weight, if I give it moderate assistance, it doesn't close, bit of a firm slam (not swinging off it) it thuds shut!
Did see the rubber stops, but as this is a used car I'm assuming it's possibly setup right, as the original owner would of had it in with BMW for sure.
There is such a noticeable difference from shutting the doors to the tailgate, the doors shut with a real nice sound and little effort, the tailgate sounds cheap with what I consider to Much force to close, as stated it does need a bit of a slam...
Will have a play today
Thanks again guys
