I had to replace the fuel filler flap on my '13GT due to some clumsiness on my part. I managed to hit it with my foot on dismounting when it wasn't quite locked down. A new style flap from the local BMW shop cost me $86.00, stiff but then its a BMW part which aren't known for low prices.
The black new style flap actually look better than the red one that was on the bike. Most of the flap extended up into the front of the black seat so it matches the seat better.
The new part doesn't interfere with the seat when it's not latched so it's much less likely to be damaged. Also the plastic on the new part is a lot more flexible than the original so it's not likely to be easily damaged like the original.
