Rear diffuser on M-pack question.

I have comfort access, power tail and Drive Assist Plus options installed on my car.
Recently I decided to make few mods on it. But I've found out that 3D Design rear diffuser will disable handless trunk opening. (I assume that this diffuser covers a sensor witch is responsible for this.)
For me this option is very useful so I want to ask if anybody knows is there any CF diffusers that won't disable this option after installation ?

P.S. personally I love 3D Design stuff, also I think that Vorsteiner's one will bring the same "effect"

You can get the car coded in Kiev.

I have the BMW M Sport rear diffuser installed and the trunk still opens as designed - i.e. handless...(on an Activehybrid 5 - same rear as a 535)

It's clear that BMW\M made diffuser will work fine. But I am looking for something better :-( I do like Vorsteiner personally but this thing won't work fine

No, the exhaust tips will not line up with outlets on the diffuser. The M5 muffler tips sit slightly inboard compared to the 550 so it will not work without some modifications.
