I just installed a BM3 Flex Fuel adapter in my F23. There is a lot of great info on how to install this kit, but the EKP module is not behind the right side rear bolster like it is in the F22. In the convertible it is in the trunk on the right side pass through. To get to it you have to remove the right trunk covering in the pass through and the front part of the right rear trunk liner. This makes the install slightly more difficult that the F22 but not too much. The Kies Motorsport video I thought was great to assist with install.
Some things to note:
1) There is not a lot of extra cable to the flex fuel sensor in the F23. You will have to try and route the wire to the sensor as directly as possible and under the sound deadening pad in the back. I made a slit in mine so I could get the sensor through the hole where the child seat hook is. Make sure it is not taught and lies flat under the seat.
2) The depth under the trunk liner pieces to accommodate the CANBUS transceiver (the BM3 box) is limited. I ended up putting some double sided tape on the box and putting it directly in front of the EKP module. Should have taken pictures (sorry), but at this point I just wanted to get the car back together.
3) You don't have to remove the right trunk liner piece. I only took out the two most front fasteners and that was enough to fold the liner to access the EKP module. The connector is not super accessible unfortunately.
Overall I am very happy with the kit from PTF. The adapter is very well made and fits nicely in the space over [...]
