Dooe strikers are not adjustable on 2020 model

[No42]

Interesting. My back door has the slightest misalignment. I probably wouldn’t have even noticed except there was so much noise about panel gaps that I had a more discerning eye than normal.

Anyways the mobile tech tried to adjust the striker on my 2020 Model and there was no change. He tried a couple times and said it must already be in all the way. He said there is no other method to fix and I would need a whole new door if I wanted to press the issue.

Was your latch adjusted?

looks the same as mine, the holes in the plate were a bit larger than the bolt so you could adjust it a little. I Never did git the door to be perfectly aligned and close easily. I think I would need to remove the door panel for that if it's even possible. I went for easier to close.

My passenger side rear door was misaligned significantly, service center took care of that, not sure what they used to adjust but the gap got to be more than 2-3mm.

Hey - got the same "problem" with rear door striker like you described. I cannot move it - I did not try to hit it very hard to not broke something. Have you got it aligned? They have somehow unstuck this striker?

Hi all.
To confirm I had the same doubt/issue (I have a 2020 M3 model; the driver’s door striker seemed immovable and the screws were the same size as the striker’s thread, so no adjustment seemed possible).

But after a series of good whacks on the slightly-loosened striker with a mallet, I got it to move where I needed it, a good mm or 2 inwards (see the distance between the now-adjusted striker and the 2 post-its marking its original position on the left).


So would say you have to hammer a bit harder than comfortable (the striker can take it!); but to conclude, the striker is definitely moveable on a 2020 M3.
