The problem is not indicated as "not present", confirming the problem occurs.

I ordered on EBAY the piece n°6 (actuator). The mechanical system is OK. I can open the flap and close it by hand.

Piece ref is n° 7511383

We will see ... Anyway BMW dealer would not have done more than me on this topic for now. The DIS recommend to change this actuator before anything else.
I believe you shouldn't be able to push open the flap when the car is off.

Does sound to me that something is broken inside the switch. Try this - take it off the actual intake - hold the switch in your hand and run the test and see if it turns correctly.
