2014 Alpina B7 help!

Hey guys, just got a beautiful 2014 B7 and am having a couple issues. iDrive controller seems to get stuck really often going clockwise but not counterclockwise... is that a common thing and is there an easy fix? Another thing is the little metal flap inside the fuel filler neck is bent and I am having problems putting gas into the car. Any help would be appreciated! Name:  IMG_3265.jpeg

I've seen this problem is quite a few cars while working at a dealership.
Unfortunately seems pretty common.
Seems like the cars always had ceramic controls if they had the problem.

Beautiful car - I have same color with Nat Brown interior but non-alpina. For iDrive, you are looking to get that replaced, if your car still under warranty it should not be an issue. Not sure about the fuel filler - seems replacement as well as I doubt you can straight it out much in such a tiny space.
