Door won't close sometimes R56

Lately when I close the driver's door on my 2009 Cooper S, it sometimes won't latch...I sometimes have to try it 5 times before it will stay closed. I've lubed the latch with spray lube, but it's no better. Anyone have experience with this?

Make sure the striker and the latch are lined up, When they are off it takes a couple times,
