I do not have that large of a panel gap, although the drivers side by the light sits lower than the psngr.

I noticed a fuel smell by the drivers side wheel well tonight and have traced it to either the drv side high pressure fuel pump (both sides were replaced under recall prior to delivery) or maybe a slight leak in an injector. Hate to go for service only 700 miles but cant take any chances with fuel smells and will have them address the hood...it should not be this way. Starting to wonder a bit about the QC in BMW's...
it's the hood latch. if you can't get it, take it to services.
