3.10 Spoiler adapter

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 BMW 530xi, 2007 BMW 525xi, 2006 BMW 530xi, and 2006 BMW 525xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In the case of vehicles with very low spoilers, the sensor beam may be broken by the spoiler between the measuring sensors. This primarily occurs in front of the front axle.
The spoiler adapter is used here as a connecting element between the measuring equipment clamp and the measuring sensor. Thanks to the adapter, the sensors are placed 50 mm lower, thus allowing the sensor beam to move freely below the spoiler.
