It's funny you should say this, I just remembered I had a dream last night where I had a white B8 S4 or RS4 and the passenger door had dropped a little. In my dream apparently this was a common problem with this car.
Not helping you much but thought I'd share.

I've just got home from an R32 meet where they were discussing this exact same thing - seems a common prob and to adj / fix, there a 1/2 inch bolt inbetween door hinges. - a slight adj, sorts. Obv I dunno if same for C6...but share just in case.

Ive just noticed this on the b7 rs4 I have just purchased.
you can really lift it up and down compared to the others.

I hope it can be adjusted and its not the inner door pin worn which can also happen.
I think the cause is the weight in these doors these days puts a lot of stress on the hindges
Drive low,park lower
