Boot comfort access feature won't work

Spc Rax · 02-28-2021, 03:39 PM

I have just installed CF rear diffuser on my F10. Is there a way to get comfort boot open feature back ?

IIRC you need to get the CA piece that goes behind the diffuser.

Unfortunately, no. That's the price we have to pay when we go CF diffuser. Mine will randomly work, but that's <0.5%. I've given up on trying and a year later, I've gotten used to life without it. It's not so much the CF as it is the FRP in the diffuser. You may have some luck if you can find a pure CF diffuser, but as far as I know only M Performance has that, and obviously none are available except for M5.

Link or part# for this? I'll be doing this soon, and would love to keep this feature too.

Don't know. I just read about it here somewhere a while ago. Maybe search for comfort access and rear diffuser...

Mine works every time... did you get the one that covers all the way?

I have the second one.. and it works

51128053585 is the part number, not sure if it'll make a difference though. It's mostly used to solve the issue of the M sport one not accepting genuine M5 diffusers.

Hey, I am planning to modify exhaust system on my 535i m sport. Which one I should go for?
Remus or BMW Performance?

I went with m5 mufflers...

xxpanipuri · 03-04-2021, 06:24 PM

mine stopped working normally / easily when i put on the m5 diffuser (had to relocate the CA sensor i believe)

only time it works consistently is if i'm washing the car and i spray the area between the tips...and if the key is in my pocket it will open the trunk consistently...

spielnicht · 03-06-2021, 09:37 AM

Lol, ditto for me when I'm washing the car as well or working underneath it. Basically, it works always when I DON'T need it to.

Yes, install original diffuser

Or you can install M5 (non-CF) diffuser for which you'll need adapter bracket. This is what I did after installing and removing CF diffuser.

I love spraying in between the tits

Serious question though. Is the F11 boot comfort access the same as the F10 boot comfort access?? Mine has never worked before and after cf diffuser..
