waiting for Fuel Flap actuator from Germany
had to do manual mode 2x during Targawest
Fuel flap cover was almost lost too as it slides into place.
Another thing that "almost" fell off
Items that have fallen off since new:
a) door reflectors
b) front right BMW badge

Re: Can't open fuel port on Rex
I had the same problem on mine, used the manual release a couple of times, and now the button release seems to be working again ?!? " Looking into" the problem would have required all day to run "diagnostics" on the car and cost $270 (out of warranty).
