Lloyd, can you share which kind of plastic push clips you bought for your rear diffuser installation? I used the good all zip tie but wouldn't mind using a clip for better support.

Edit: Never mind, found an updated pdf that does indicate to disable the trunk kick access here.

mine has the carbon diffuser already... does the kick function only come with comfort access cars?

Yes the kick function is part of the comfort access option. If you have a 2015 model and didn't get the executive package, you don't have comfort access.

I am doing it exactly as your video shows in case your are wondering. So I would not claim 100%. |

I bought my F82 used and it already had a full wrap around diffuser in the rear. Not sure what brand it is. I was lucky to get the trunk kick to work every now and then and it would open constantly when washing my car with the key in my pocket. I read on one of the threads somewhere that someone had success removing the two plastic push rivets from the top sensor and unhooking the two middle clips from the bottom sensor. I did this today, which in effect causes the sensors to hang down lower, and so far it is working great. Since it was today I'm curious if in the future I get false openings when driving in the rain etc.. If I do I will update the post but so far this seems to be the easiest fix I've seen. Hopefully this helps out.

I used plastic push pins similar to what holds your interior trunk panels that I got from amazon and this feature works every single time with my oem MP diffuser.

I have a M performance carbon diffuser on my car and was experiencing the problem of the kick to open function not working correctly. It was not just that it didn't work when you wanted to use it but it would trigger seemingly randomly. The other night my foot brushed underneath the rear driver's side corner of the car and the trunk popped open. Other times I would find the trunk had opened unexpectedly.
On my car the 8mm screws for the 2 tabs in the center of diffuser go through the diffuser, then the heat shield, then the plastic part underneath that holds the screw clip that engages the 8mm screw. Based on the comments in this thread that there is an electrical connection between the diffuser and the heat shield because they are in contact with each other, put a rubber spacer between the diffuser tab and the heat shield. I also used a couple of plastic fasteners rather than the 2 metal screws (which would also provide a conductive path between the diffuser and the heat shield. After doing this the trunk kick to open function started working reliably with the BMW M Performance carbon fiber diffuser. Hopefully it will remain working, otherwise I will code out the function. I like the diffuser more than I need the foot kick to open trunk release function. Here's a photo of the parts I used.

I just had a diffuser installed today at a shop and they would not do this trunk kick fix for me. They said I run the risk of the sensor melting because relocating it makes it so close to the exhaust heat shield, and they wanted no liability. Has anyone had issues with theirs melting or failing from doing this mod?

I installed my CF diffuser using plastic clips for the two middle screws and the boot kick works 100% of the time. No sensor relocation or anything messy, just plastic clips as shown in the video. 1500km later and no issues. |
