Mis-aligned gas tank door

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Just noticed this on my car. Not sure if it’s been like this since I picked it up or something happened but the alignment for the gas tank door is definitely off. Anyone else have the same issue? I’m bringing the car in next week for a few other things such as front passenger side vent/auto door controls are dead… the joys of buying a first year model

If it came out of factory like that, BMW has a serious quality problems at that plant given this and all other issues we are having with these cars

I assume it did. I just passed 600 miles and have only filled it up once so I can’t see how I did something that could’ve caused that. I tried opening / closing it but it remains misaligned. It’s like the top/bottom part aren’t bent inwards enough as the middle line is perfectly aligned with the rest of the car.

Did you not see this when you took delivery and did a walkaround? Looks like it warped.

I did not... It's getting fixed under warranty so no worries there but still disappointing it passed BMWs QC.

Are you getting a new one, or just realigned?
