I filled up at my normal gas station, when done the gas nozzle caught the metal flap at the top of the filler neck and I had to rotate the nozzle to extract. When I looked down the filler neck I noticed the metal flap door does not fully cover the opening, it looks like an oval shape thin metal plate that leaves gap to the lower half of the opening. Is this normal? Mine is a N26 SULEV 2013 328i.

In my old beater bimmer this flap covered the whole opening, and was a solid metal door, this F30 one is more like a tin can switch in comparison.
