Hi, I just got out of my 1997 bmw 328is and the door is now not fully closing, it will close the first latch so that it will not open, but not close all the way so the window will not pop into place and the doors will not lock because the door isn’t shut, i can not figure out what’s wrong with it, can someone please help me ?
The lock is probably stuck in "closed" position. Try pushing it back in place with a screwdriver or whatever tool you have. I'm not talking about where you put the key, but about what you can see if you look at the side of the door. a bit below the window

There is a micro switch in the door latch itself.
See if the window will close while the door is open and you push on that switch. If not, I would suspect that switch is bad.
Next will be to adjust the latch if the door isn't closing flush to the body.
