Yes the Adaptronic will accept a knock sensor, however, from reading around and various posts on Nutz it seems that the 5's engine is particularly noisy, especially so in the rpm range where knock might be expected, so much so that it appears that most knock sensors simply cannot differentiate between the "noise" and knock.
So you either get a false knock reading, or knock might occur but the sensor doesn't pick it up.
There's a sticky somewhere about making your own det cans, that's the only foolproof way of ensuring you have a knock-free tune.
