Crap... Gas Door won't open
I have a 2014 328i M-sport with about 10k miles, and i discovered today when washing my car that the gas door won't "bounce" open when i push it in. I probably tried pushing it in like 100 times trying to release the latch, but for some reason it won't. I haven't had ANY problems with it before, and in fact i might have had the reverse issue in the past few months where i had to push the door 2-3 times to get it to close/latch properly. I live in Arizona so its not frozen due to temp. I don't want to break it by pushing too hard or too many times.
Can i ask someone on these forums a HUGE favor by providing a close-up cell phone pic of the inside mechanism of the spring/release latching mechanism inside the gas door? I might be able to prod it open carefully with a wire possibly if i know where to head. And i don't mean to be pushy, but i need this ASAP as my gas tank is only about 1/2 full right now and i will probably be driving a lot this long Thanksgiving weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!!

i guess you learn something new about your car everyday. Dayum :-) THanks for the quick reply. Being that the door is just a manual push-open thing, i never woulda thought it would be tied somehow to the doors being locked or not locked. Thanks!!! |
