Is this normal?
I just noticed that the passenger (right) side of my 1M has a flap sticking up right behind the front wheel/tire that the other side does not. I am wondering if this is normal or if something is out of place. Can someone check for me?

just checked mine, and it looks identical on both sides with no such flap sticking out....I couldn't tell you what that is but it doesn't look too troubling.

Not certain, but believe that should be inside the wheel well liner.
Do you know whether the liner had been removed for any service or repair? In any event, it's no big deal and would be easy to correct. Neil |

I guess I'll have to lift it up, take off the wheel and get a closer look.

It was probably something that just got missed during assembly. My car had ZERO plastic carpet plugs in the trunk area when I took delivery. Service manager just grabbed a bag from parts and popped them in. It happens.... They couldn't believe I would notice such a thing. lol

What's strange is that I'm fairly certain I would have noticed this earlier since I always scrub the inside of the fenders when I wash the car. But then again, I can't image what would cause that piece to come out from underneath like that either.
