Front Lip on Convertible

Aside from the issues of scraping, I have been told by BMW that the lip is not approved for the cabriolet. The parts guy even contacted BMW and was told they would not support installation. For some reason it is a coupe only addition. Makes no sense as all the rads and coolers installations should be identical on both and I'm sure the ride height also.

Would love to hear from anyone with more detailed information on why there is an issue. Cooling is about the only thing I can see why they are concerned buy this would mean there is a build difference. I see there is a difference between their front lip and most aftermarket units whereas theirs is quite open not to restrict the airflow as much.
