Fuel cap tether - fix

Fuel cap tether - fix
It has been intact on all of my Z4s, but when I got my current 3 Series daily the tether was broken.
I know it hardly matters, but it just annoyed me!
I got a tether on Ebay for a few quid. It took minutes to fit without needing any tools - sorted.

Upgraded the fuel hatch with some carbon fibre bling.
This is an oem part! Nice upgrade!
I need to get off ebay…

I suspect its about as much additional power/weight ratio gain as the whippy to stubby upgrade... therefore, I'll have one!
