m sport rear bumber + abs M performance diffuser question

Would M performance diffuser (not CF version) interfere with comfort access trunk opening function (when you move your foot underneath)?

I can confirm, it definitely works - assuming you mean the diffuser same as mine here which is the OEM M-Performance:

They said same as OEM. Well, for the front lip, it's not fiber glass, it's polyurethane. They said this is same as that. I'll keep you update

Hehe, nice one. Actually I hit a bad section of road on a highway - basically like hitting a kerb at 80mph. The tow in the pic was 40 miles later after the runflat didn't feel safe anymore (wife, 2 kids and grandparents also travelling). There was a hole in the tyre big enough to get a golfball inside. In the end all 4 tyres were changed out (all had 1 or more big bulges in them) and I had to send the wheels off to get straightened (which was handy as they fixed up the curb rash too).

Fantastic service here in Bangkok - it took over a year to solve all the issues and I still need to take it back in to correct the alignment (again!!!)
