Vorsteiner Style CF diffuser play well with trunk sensor?

BimmerMsport · 12-04-2013, 06:32 PM

I'm looking to order the CF VS style diffuser for my f10 but, had some concerns with the under bumper sensor for the "foot kick" sensor to operate my power trunk.

Can any members here with comfort access pitch in with some feedback in regards to the VS style, specifically supplied by Empire motorsport if the underside of the diffuser clears the motion sensors for the trunk release.

I have a Vorsteiner style diffuser and no problems with comfort access. I did not get mine for empire motorsport but if it fits well, and the sensors are not moved or anything, then it should be fine. I did have a body shop install mine.

i have a vorsteiner rep diffuser and the sensor doesnt work anymore.

I read you can relocate it but idc enough to do it.

bringing this up from the dead... anybody have any more info about moving the sensor for the CA for the trunk to work with the aftermarket rear diffuser?

As as I know the sensor will not work after a CF diffuser is installed.
