The lid poking out a bit could be due to some minor fit misalignment. Is there a chance the gas cap tether is causing the lid to not close completely? Does the lid lock secure the lid? |

Checked both my M2 and my 230ix fuel lids. While they are not perfectly flush the mismatch is not bad. Just enough to feel. I'd hazard a guess the fit is I believe what is referred to as commercially acceptable, within whatever tolerance BMW allows for the fit to not be flush.
Of course I have no idea how bad a fit the lid on your car is. |

^^ How the hell did that get out of the factory like that? Then the dealership? Wow.

When I had my Giulia there were a bunch of reports of the same thing. Fortunately didn't happen to me. Has something to do with the way the flimsy outside plastic is bonded to the hinge mechanism. Dealers replaced them, there was no adjustment possible.
With the Alfa, owners reported this happening months after ownership so was not a QC issue. Looks like a trip to the dealer, unfortunately.
