That's not a bad option, is it really wobbly or is the plastic fairly stiff? Some cheaper aftermarket plastic panels are thin.

Did you have to modify the car in any way to install this? I bought the AC schnitzer diffuser and its instructions directs you to cut a part of the car off for installation

If you are going with M5 diffuser, you have to cut it or remove it.
It is due to the curve of the M5 diffuser.
The AC Schnitzer diffuser also curved inward like the M5.
I have tried installing a M5 style rear valance and diffuser recently. I can't complete it since that bracket is in the way.

At least the AC Schnitzer came with the Trunk Kick sensors brackets.

Oh, is that what those clips are for? Was confused about what the wires are in the install pictures.

I didn't have to trim anything.
It was very simple perfect fit install .
If I'm not mistaken the AcS tips are 90mm and as you can see from a picture there is some extra room left for bigger tips .

I'll check tomorrow for the clearance.

I tried fitting the M5 style rear diffuser yesterday on my 520d M-Sport. When it came to lining up the holes at the bottom of the diffuser beneath the car, there were no corresponding holes on the car. It seemed that the panel behind the rear bumper was getting in the way of the curve of the M5 diffuser. Do I need to make further alterations to fit this part?

you may have to remove that piece that is under the new diffuser, i know it can be removed or at least take the screws out and see if the holes then line up.
